Sekou Doumbouya was never expected to fall all the way down to 15th overall in the 2019 NBA Draft. No one inside of the Detroit Pistons’ organization thought that they’d have a chance to select him, but when the opportunity arose, they didn’t hesitate.
He was only able to play in one Summer League game after sitting out with an injury, so fans were left waiting until the preseason began to really see him in action.
Heading into the year, the consensus belief with Sekou was that he is a project, and the expectations for him shouldn’t be through the roof.
