Ndong really impressed me at open gym last week. Obviously the 6-foot-9 forward is an extremely high-level prospect, but his potential is turning into production right in front of our eyes. He seems stronger at the point of attack and is keeping a better line on drives to the rim (his handle looks sharper and more confident, too), and he’s still one of the most lethal shooters at his size in the entire country. He gets his shot off quickly and has so much size and length that he’s quite difficult to defend. Like Donohue, Ndong should get up tons of shots from three this season and make them at a relatively high clip.

Ndong, a forward out of the Newman School in Massachusetts, came off the board with a commitment to Marquette University. One of the summer’s breakout stars nationally, Ndong is a versatile offensive piece that has an elite skill in his ability to make shots from behind the arc. He’s a fluid mover that should continue to add strength to his frame, has good instincts as an off-ball cutter, and has plus length that allows him to score it around the basket over size. Defensively, he can guard on the perimeter with his length and mobility and does a nice job of rebounding in space, he also shows a good understanding of how to play angles and is disruptive in passing lanes. Ndong provides Marquette with a terrific long-term building block and has the chance to develop into one of the best floor spacers in the Big East.

+29 (#40 to #11)

Ndong, a forward out of the Newman School in Massachusetts, climbs to #11 in this update. The 6’9″ forward has the height to play in the paint, but profiles more as a stretch forward at the next level, after spending the summer showcasing his ability to knock down perimeter jumpers in a variety of ways. He uses screens to get open, can step into shots off the bounce, and does a nice job of spacing the floor in catch and shoot situations. He has the ability to attack in straight line drives off the bounce and has some sneaky athleticism as a finisher around the rim. As talented as he is right now, it’s his potential that stands out, as he should only continue to get better with add reps and strength. A fringe Top 100 prospect now, Ndong was one of the nation’s biggest stock risers this summer and now claims offers from multiple high majors, including Creighton and Marquette.

Ndong has been a major bright spot for the Magic this season and has been one of the spring’s biggest stock risers. The 6-foot-9 forward is under-developed physically and could certainly put on some weight, but he moves extremely well for his size and has a wonderful stroke from three-point range. He can make shots on the move, too, and he can attack closeouts once the defense starts overplaying him. He’s the Magic’s 5th leading scorer but is doing it efficiently with 49% shooting and 45% from three. Ndong is ready for a major break out with Newman this coming season.

Ndong played on Newman’s second team this season, so a lot of people probably don’t know who he is. But the 6-foot-9 wing is built like a future D1 prospect and has a super intriguing set of skills. He can make shots from the perimeter, and he looks quite comfortable and coordinated on drives to the rim despite his size and length. Defensively, his physical attributes allow him to guard multiple positions and impact shots at the rim. As Ndong continues to get stronger, he should have tons of scholarship schools on him.

Ndong, a forward out of the Newman School in Massachusetts, impresses with his fluidity of movement and versatility. The 6’9″ forward can step out to the perimeter and knock down threes, attacks closeouts off the bounce, and finishes above the rim with his athleticism. Defensively, he moves well enough to guard on the perimeter and does a nice job of providing rim protection from the helpside. He’s a scholarship level prospect that will be running with the Middlesex Magic this spring and summer.
