Aminata made the trip north and is now stationed in Virginia. She looked really good with her combination of length and athleticism combined with a high motor she was tough to contain. She finished from the top of the key with one dribble and had a soft touch with the mid-range shot and long two. At 6’4″ she looked to be pretty much college ready. She ran the floor well, altered shots with her length, and consistently impacted the game without needing the offense to be run through her. Her upside is significant, and she has the physical tools to contribute early at the next level.

Aminata and her 6’5″ frame have arrived in the DMV with the Cap City Ballerz . She showed some good finishes inside while rebounding and keeping the ball high. At the line she stepped up and calmly knocked down her free throws. Her size is very disruptive in the paint and it was obvious that her presence deterred players from looking to drive.

Up from 96: Holds a ton of potential. Elite size and length. Moves extremely well. Has a good feel in the post. Ducks in for post ups and has multiple moves to turn to with her back to the basket. Best basketball ahead of her.

Out of all the elite-sized eye candy that Greenforest has, Aminata might be the best long-term prospect. Listed at 6-foot-4, Aminata is athletic and active. She has lean muscle on her frame and uses her size well, really good at ducking in for high-low looks, sealing deep in the paint. Aminata’s best buckets came on dropsteps and floaters. She has an understanding of what moves to make with her back to the basket. When she turns around and fades from contact for short jumpers, she isn’t as effective as when she is moving toward the rim on her finishes. Ndiaye finished with 11 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks. While she can stand to polish up some things, if she is only a sophomore she is a in a very good spot with her development. I spoke with a D-I coach days later and they agreed with me that Aminata has D-I upside.
