Bal will give that team a chance to go dancing.

Adama Bal's NBA Career is starting off very nicely.

I was just about to post a thread on this.
He's looked like a pro caliber player so far.
I will encourage some of us to understand that 75% of the NBA is in tank-mode right now.
Outside of the top six seeds in each conference?
The other 24 franchises are tanking to try and get a better shot at a higher draft pick.
I am not going to say that Bal is not going to stick in the NBA.
I will say that the majority of the prospects that are getting extensive reps right now will not have a legit role on a NBA roster in 2027-28.

The mere fact that Adama was recruited by Arizona is what got him drafted

He wasn't drafted though.

That may be true, but shots have to be put up and made. So far, Bal is looking nice from 3. You can make a career in the NBA/G League/Two Way circuit if you can hit shots and add a little bit of Defense to your game over time.
I think Bal is off to a nice start in his first opportunity in the Association!
Wishing him the best. Talented kid that stuck with college and slowly improved his game. He only had two efficient games in his short career but I'm sure he'll find a rhythm with a full season under his belt next fall.
The only game that Bal won this year, included a 1 for 8 shooting performance, which defines the anomaly of the NBA.

Um.. it is a team that is purposely tanking no matter how good of stats he tries to get so winning is never going to qualify in this evaluation.
His Stats speak for themselves. Especially from 3.
