Cal just offered this 2022 big....his nickname is "Baby Embiid"....looks pretty good for a junior....
Originally from Ghana, he's 6-foot-9 and also holds offers from USC, New Mexico, Howard and San Jose State University with many more to come.

How would you compare him to Kuany? Nyarko looks stronger and the USC offer is a good sign (unless he ends up at USC). And he's playing against good competition:

JMHO, Nyarko is a much better basketball player...better skill, awareness, defense and passing ability

My first thought watching Kuany his freshman year was, "How can a kid go to a basketball factory like Prolific Prep and come out knowing so little about basketball?". Since then he has improved, but he's going to have to make huge strides before next season in order to have an appreciable impact.

Adding more questions to your question...

How many years was he at Prolific Prep? What was his basketball background prior to that? Does Prolific Prep do a great job emphasizing skill development, or is it more like an AAU-team-turned-high-school?

And then there's, "If playing a 6-9 guy out on the wing worked out that often, wouldn't we see more of it?"

It is worse than that. They have put a 6-9 guy with no feel for the game on the wing.
