Seton Hall’s 7-2 rim protector is a low-usage, high-upside developmental big
Assane Mbaye is a freshman center at Seton Hall whose appeal is mostly about projection: at 7-2 and 190 pounds, he brings rare size, a documented shot-blocking background from high school, and a developmental profile that could fit a team looking for a long-term rim protector rather than immediate offense. In 2025-26, he has played sparingly, so the current sample is too small to judge production, but his length and defensive upside are the differentiators that matter most.
