A 7-foot rim protector with quietly efficient hands and size
In the 2021-22 season, Samba Kane gave Milwaukee a true interior presence: the 7-foot center from Dakar, Senegal averaged 2.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.6 blocks in 9.6 minutes for San Francisco before joining the Panthers, and Milwaukee’s roster notes call him a humble, excellent teammate who adds size, mobility, rebounding and shot-blocking. That combination makes him the kind of low-usage big who can change possession battles, protect the paint, and fit a team that needs toughness and defensive length more than touches.
