CHARLES BASSEY (SAS)
UNDERDOG
NBA ROLE: (RAW) VERSATILE, TWO-WAY BIG
Charles Bassey’s a powerful, 6’11 C w/ a dominant, two-way framework; athletic force inside who’s also proving himself as an impressive finisher: alternates between soft shots & devastating dunks after rolling; tremendous shot-blocking presence (stands out on recoveries) w/ a grudge v. anyone who challenges hm in the lane; beast on the boards (and in the lane!) - great size & positioning down low, Bassey is always capable of going off for a dominant performance on the glass; controls the o-boards (opposition needs to account for him 24/7), has a putback slam, tap-in or tap-out on his mind at all times; smart screener: uses body to fend off guards fighting around him, clearing an avenue for teammates to do work; nimble footwork around rim - continuing to add more post moves and a go-to J (can step out and hit threes in a pinch) could be soon to come; Bassey goes hard in the paint (high-volume interior scoring & boarding) in San Antonio - recovering after ACL tear in 2023 - Bassey’s live play style could create an indispensable role in 2025
SIGNATURE! COMING SOON.
