Yves Missi performed incrediblely with the Cameroon national team.
Yves Missi is one of the most promising young prospects for the New Orleans Pelican. The Cameroon star showed that he had a bright future ahead of him.
Pelican manager Willie Green praised Missi’s performance during the 2024-25 NBA season, leading to a huge success in the campaign.
His performance was so strong that the La Lakers tried to trade for Missi this offseason before landing Deandre Ayton.
Mishi gained weight to make the offseason stronger during the game. And while representing Cameroon, Mishi showed his improvement and the strength he worked for.
Prior to the quarterfinals of the Afrobasket tournament, Yves Missi showed off while playing in Cameroon in a match against Dr. Congo.
According to statistics provided by Sofa Scole, Misi dropped 20 points with 12 rebounds and one assist, allowing Cameroon to defeat Dr. Congo 77-68.
It was a great performance from Mishi, who was a true leader of the Cameroon national team, leading them in points (16.7), rebounds (8.7), and blocks per game (1.7).
And Cameroon’s national team will rely heavily on the younger centres as they head towards the Afro Basket quarterfinals.
The New Orleans Pelicans are paying attention to Missi’s performance with Cameroon to understand the methods needed to coordinate Missi’s development plans.
If Young Centre does a good job and leads Cameroon to success in the tournament, he will earn more minutes next season.
He competes on the spot as the Pelican trades up to pick Derrick Queen in the NBA Draft.
However, considering Missi has NBA experience and shows great shape at the Afrobasket Tournament, he has a great shot at being their starting center.
