Georgia Tech’s bruising, productive freshman big man before injury interruption
In the 2025-26 season, Mouhamed Sylla flashed real impact at Georgia Tech by averaging 9.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.2 blocks and 1.4 turnovers in 16 games, while shooting 57.9% from the field. He opened with three straight double-doubles and became the first Yellow Jacket freshman since Chris Bosh in 2002-03 to do that, which tells you the motor and rim presence are for real. The catch: an ankle injury derailed his momentum late in the season. If your team wants a physical, high-rebound center with instant paint production, he’s a strong fit.
