RE: Memphis’ Moussa Cisse Declares For The NBA Draft
Some of you need to remember that Cisse grew up playing soccer. He only started playing basketball in high school in Newark and he graduated (here in Memphis) a year early. He didn't even live in the US until 2016.

All the comments about his free throw shooting and hands are true but when you look at it in context, there's still a lot of upside there. A lot of these other kids have been playing since they were old enough to dribble a ball - Cisse is not one of those.

I'm not sure about his "handlers" but this is a kid who hasn't seen his mother but once since 2016.

And if you have read any of the articles on him, he says he wants to get to the NBA for 2 reasons: one to take care of his single mother and two to "take care of the kids in Africa" (especially his home country of Guinea). He talked about not even having shoes growing up.

That's a kid I can root for. I want him to do well at Memphis but I hope the kid reaches his dreams.

It's easy to only look at these young men as what they do on the floor but there's a lot more to them. Let's try to remember that.
