Shotblocking

Bamba was a defensive demon at Texas, averaging 3.7 blocks in 30.2 minutes per game. While that number dipped a bit in his first year in the pros (1.4 bpg), advance metrics showed Bamba would average 4.1 blocks per 100 possessions. The Raptors already have a resident rim protector in Serge Ibaka, but Bamba could end up as a far better shot blocker in the next 3 or 4 years.
