Willie Green evaluated the New Orleans Saints rookie.
The 20-year-old Cameroonian centre played 3 preseason games, averaging 5.3 points, 3 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 blocked shots in 16.8 minutes per game.
Missy was selected 21st overall in the 2024 NBA Draft. The head coach commented on the rookie's performance after a 20-point loss to Houston (98-118).
‘Missy stood out in a positive way. He was unbelievable, especially when we put him in with the core players. He opens up space with his threat in the paint, a target for tip-ins. He's great at mastering the concept of our basketball. There are so many positives.
He's quick and powerful when setting screens. His passes to the basket always need to be accounted for by the opposing defence, given his ability to finish after tip-ins. Missy gave guys the opportunity for some open shots with his movement to the basket and his ball-handling.
We need to work on our struggles in the paint. The shots will come. But we need to do a better job of defending our paint. The opponent's 60 points is too much. Let's focus on high-intensity drills and specific details,’ Green concluded.
