Daniel Akoue is Bryant’s 6-foot-11 interior project with room to bloom
In the 2025-26 season, Daniel Akoue has given Bryant a long, young frontcourt option: he’s averaging 3.0 points, 2.1 rebounds and shooting 43.5% from the field in 11.7 minutes per game[1][4]. At 6-11, the big selling point is obvious—size, rim presence and upside—but the early stat line suggests he’s still polishing consistency, touch and decision-making[1][3]. If a team wants a developmental forward with length and a strong physical base rather than an instant-impact scorer, Akoue is a worthwhile bet[1][12].
