The Detroit Pistons have added to their collection of giants. This time it’s through the signing of 7’6”, 300-pound center Mamadou N’Diaye, the 23-year-old center who went undrafted out of UC Irvine.
Marc J. Spears of ESPN’s The Undefeated was first on the news:

N’Diaye is a native of Dakar, Senegal who came to the states after a then-UC Irvine assistant coach asked him to upon seeing him play in a pickup game in Senegal.
