The Diaspora Drop scouting platform is officially live.
Physical data. Domestic context. Film. Contact pathways. All in one place.
Yann James Fondong🇨🇲 showed his capability as an offensive engine in AfroCan qualifiers as the team’s young leader.
He was an efficient scorer using high touch to score on three levels. A savvy mover, he leveraged angles, opponent positioning and footwork to create advantages.
Cameroon failed to qualify but Fondong averaged 20.5 PPG, 5.5 RPG, 2.5 APG on 50/40/90 shooting splits.

Mohamed Keita🇷🇼 has committed to St. Joseph Montvale (NJ) in the class of 2029.
One of the most vertically athletic wings on the continent, he brings a loud play style and transition dominance. The 6-6 athlete combines defensive playmaking with emphatic finishing above the rim.
Codé Mbengue🇸🇳 played in his second U18 AfroBasket qualifying Senegal for U19 World Cup and showed why he was the top big man of the competition.
The captain was extremely impactful as a force in the paint and balanced gambling on hedges with sound rim protection.
