He's already the new Wembanyama, he's driving the whole NBA crazy.
2.10m at only 13 years old. The measurements of young FC Barcelona center Mohamed Dabone have everyone in a frenzy, especially in the NBA world. No luck for France, he's Spanish, the historic rival of Wembanyama's gang. And precisely, thanks to his physique and dominance, Mohamed Dabone is already considered the future Wembanyama.
As proof of his rapid development and ability, last season he participated in the first team training sessions during the first days of pre-season, and this season Joan Peñarroya has called him up again to rub shoulders with the available first team players and experience the atmosphere of the "senior" team.
Born in Burkina Faso, the player is already being tracked by the biggest scouts in the American league who see him as a clever mix of the Greek Giannis Antetokounmpo, 2.11 m winger of the Milwaukee Bucks and the French Victor Wembanyama, 2.21 m, of the San Antonio Spurs.
Many American sites regularly talk about him, such as Clutch Points, one of the most followed basketball websites in the United States, which even compared Dabone to LeBron James.
In the first tournaments, he put in a string of high-flying performances, with impressive statistics during the Minicopa ACB : 22 points, 26 rebounds against Real. During the U16 international basketball tournament in Villa de La Orotava, he was again spectacular with 31 points, 19 rebounds, 4 blocks, and again during the final of the 2024 Spanish Youth Championship with 24 points, 21 rebounds, 2 blocks, again against Real Madrid.
