Hamady N'Diaye

Hyeres-Toulon Var Basket (ProB) added to their roster experienced 37-year old Filipino-Senegalese power forward Hamady N'Diaye (213cm-109kg-1987, college: Rutgers). He has played for the last two seasons at Nanterre 92 in the Betclic ELITE ProA. In 34 games he had 3.4ppg and 2.1rpg last season. ProB will be definitely a better match and he can see more playing time. He helped them to make it to the cup final.
N'Diaye has tried to make it to the NBA and played in the NBA Pro Summer League in 2013.
He represented Philippines at the World Cup in China five years ago. During this event he scored an average of 1.8 points per game and had 1.5 rebounds per game.
N'Diaye is quite experienced player. His career allowed him to visit three different continents, while he played in nine different countries. He tasted the life as a pro basketball player in Europe, Asia and of course North America. N'Diaye has played previously professionally in China (Pioneers, Guangzhou Liu Sui and Guangxi), Israel (Bnei Hertzeliya), Italy (Avellino), Lebanon (Byblos), Philippines (Terrafirma Dyip), Spain (Unicaja), NBA (Brooklyn Nets and Sacramento Kings), France (Pau Lacq Orthez, Gravelines Dunkerque and Boulazac Basket) and NBA G League (Stockton Kings, Maine Celtics and Delaware Blue Coats).
Among many awards N'Diaye's team won French Cup in 2022. He was also voted Eurobasket.com All-Israeli League Defensive Player of the Year back in 2016.
He is close to retirement age as a player. It's very possible he may end his playing career at Hyeres-Toulon.
He graduated from Rutgers University in 2010 and it will be his 15th (!!!) season as a professional player.
