High Point's 2005-06 Double-Double Dynamo with Pro Pedigree
Issa Konare, a 6'8" Senegalese power forward for the High Point Panthers, exploded in the 2005-06 season with a career-high 25 points and 13 rebounds in a near-upset at Liberty (Jan 3), plus a 19-point, 10-rebound double-double in a dominant 78-49 home win; averaging 4.7 PPG and 3.3 RPG at 52.3% FG efficiency per ESPN stats, his rebounding tenacity, shot-blocking (5 in one game), and international pro journey across Japan, France, Sweden, and Canada highlight a gritty, versatile big man who's clutch in tight spots—perfect fit for teams needing tough, experienced frontcourt muscle.
