7-foot rim protector with veteran presence
In his Oregon State career, Cheikh N’diaye brought size, shot-blocking, and efficiency to the Beavers, finishing with 115 points, 92 rebounds, and 33 blocks while shooting 67.2% from the field in 80 games[1][6]. At 7-foot and 240 pounds, his differentiator was simple but valuable: he could protect the rim without needing the offense to run through him, making him a clean fit for teams that want a traditional interior anchor who plays hard, stays disciplined, and gives you physical minutes inside[1][6].
