There are certain players who struggle to catch on in the NBA right away.
Mo Bamba is the perfect example as a highly-touted prospect could not stay healthy or inconsistent during his early years in the league. Bamba was taken with the sixth pick in the 2018 NBA Draft but never reached what the Orlando Magic were hoping for.
