He is expected to deliver quality points, rebounds and play defense against opposing big man off the bench. Mamaclay is also a type of big man who can play facing the basket due to his fast reflexes and perimeter game.
Mamaclay’s combination of length and outside shooting turns him to a combo forward. He can shoot from the outside and bring his game down low.
