Le Saviez-vous ?
Born in Dakar, Senegal — Gueye is one of a growing number of West African players shaping the NBA through the league Academy Africa development pipeline.
He was identified by NBA scouts as a teenager for his extraordinary length and athletic tools — a physical specimen the league actively seeks through its global scouting network.
His selection and development in Atlanta is part of a deliberate Hawks strategy to acquire young international talent with high ceilings and develop them within the franchise.
Gueye is one of the tallest players on the Hawks roster but moves with quickness that projects him as a versatile modern big who can protect the rim and stretch the floor.
