I think he is better than is value now. Was not very good at the combine ( last in agility drill I think).
It could be a good thing if he slides because the spurs know him very well and he can be something in the nba.
Charles Bassey
School: Western Kentucky
Position: C
Age: 18
Height: 6-foot-10
Weight: 239
Wingspan: 7-foot-3.5
Draft Range: Second Round
Combine Results? Yes
Why: Big, powerful body. Impressive wingspan and good athleticism allows him to play even larger than his height (6-foot-8.75 without shoes). Has the frame to add even more muscle. Strong rebounder, particularly defensively. Blocks shots (2.4 per game) without fouling much (2.6 per game). Has shooting upside: hit 9-of-20 three-point attempts and 76.9% of his free throws. Has only been playing basketball for six years so could have room to improve. Nigeria native started his high school career in San Antonio.
Why Not: Plays a brand of basketball that is quickly going extinct in the NBA: a traditional center who relies on power to produce. Not a willing passer; turns it over when double-teamed. Averaged more than four times as many turnovers as assists. Too slow-footed to switch off onto perimeter players. Natural feel for the game lacking at both ends. Many scouts don't believe that his listed age is accurate.
Spurs Fit: A lot of time in Austin and then eventually begin in the NBA as a third-string center.

Smart move by Bassey. He was looking at possibly second round, more likely undrafted.
