Looking for someone to play a small-ball 4 but bring toughness and a high motor to the floor? Traore is your guy.
Fousseyni Traore played three years at BYU and has averaged 11.1 points and 7.3 rebounds per game across 92 games.
His best season was his sophomore year when he put up 12.9 points and 7.8 rebounds a game.
Last year he averaged 10.9 points, 5.2 rebounds and shot 62.6 percent from the floor last season. He moved from a two-year starter to a reserve role last season.
If you're looking for a reason he may not come with, that's exactly why. Despite playing 18.4 minutes a game and still being extremely productive, there may be a reason for the move in the lineup.
