A 7-foot-2 rim protector with real upside, but the box score never told the full story
Ngom’s best value came from size, shot blocking, and low-usage efficiency: in the 2021-22 season at Florida State, he averaged 5.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 0.8 blocks in 20 games with 15 starts, giving the Seminoles a true interior anchor when he was on the floor[2][13]. He also flashed scoring touch and the willingness to battle through a late-blooming path to major college basketball, but his production was modest and he eventually moved on to pro basketball after 2022[1][2].
