Abdel Kader Sylla

Hermine Nantes Atlantique (ProB) confirmed in their roster 30-year old Seychellois ex-international center Abdel Kader Sylla (204-90). He played there last season. In 23 ProB games he recorded 5.7ppg, 4.6rpg and 2.3apg. Sylla helped them to win the cup.
The most of previous (2018-19) season he spent at Union Neuchatel Basket (Swiss SBL) in Swiss league where in 16 games he averaged 11.9ppg, 6.8rpg and 3.3apg. Sylla also played for Pau Lacq Orthez (Jeep ELITE ProA). In 8 games he had 3.3ppg and 2.6rpg. He was a member of Seychellois Senior National Team back in 2011.
Sylla has played previously professionally also in Seychelles (Cobras) and France (Monaco, Sluc Nancy, Hyeres-Toulon, JL Bourg and Entente Orleans 45).
The scouts decsribe him following way: An hard worker, long armed, very athletic inside player. Has good moves around the basket, intimidates the opponents and can finish with thunderous dunks. Even after having done great improvements in last season, observers say he has yet a tremendous upside. Has dreams of getting drafted and playing in the NBA, maybe that they will come true.
