Sekou’s ups, downs: ‘One day you’re the pigeon, the next day you’re the statue’ | Detroit Pistons
MEMPHIS – The Pistons took Sekou Doumbouya enthusiastically with the 15th pick last June with full knowledge that his journey wouldn’t be an uninterrupted ascendancy to stardom. When you’re the youngest player in the NBA – the youngest player since eligibility rules were amended after the 2005 draft, in fact – it might be a wild ride. Dwane Casey, who oversaw a remarkable number of player development success stories during his run in Toronto, predicted there’d be plenty of highs and lows after the Pistons drafted Doumbouya still six months from his 19th birthday last June.
