Alam Mo Ba?
Missi is from Cameroon, joining a long line of African-born players who have become significant NBA contributors — from Dikembe Mutombo to Joel Embiid.
He was one of the youngest players in the 2024 draft class, born in 2004 and selected at just 20 years old.
His shot-blocking instincts drew comparisons to Mutombo's peak defensive impact at Baylor, though their playing styles differ significantly.
Missi is one of two 2025 NBA Draft big men on the Pelicans roster, alongside Derik Queen — both developing as the franchise's long-term center solution.
