Mansour Kasse

Mansour Kasse has great athletic ability, versatility – being a very complete player on both sides of the basketball court. Offensively, he has a good shot from 4–5 meters and a variety of resources and movements, scoring easily with both hands. Defensively he is very hard and difficult to overcome, especially in positions close to the basket, where he is a dominant player. Mansour Kasse has a great ability to capture the defensive rebound, allowing the team to start the fastbreak thanks to his vision to make and complete the first pass. His enormous reach enables him to block shots and steal the ball from rivals who play from different positions (guards, forwards, centers). The great Nigerian center Hakeem Olajuwon is Mansour’s inspiration.
