Pitt’s shot-blocking, floor-stretching forward with a pro-ready motor
In his 2021-22 season at Pittsburgh, Mouhamadou Gueye averaged 9.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks while starting 28 of 32 games, and he was a rare ACC big who also hit 43 threes and led Pitt in both threes and blocks. He stands out for his length, rim protection, and versatility as a forward who can defend, rebound, and stretch the floor—useful traits for teams wanting a modern, switchable frontcourt piece. The knock is that he’s already beyond the college level, so the appeal is less about projection and more about a proven, high-energy two-way skill set.
