The 6-foot-11, 218-pound senior forward led the Moose to a 32-2 record and the Independent Schools state championship this past season. Bamba averaged 12 points, 12 rebounds and six blocks per game. A member of the USA Basketball Men's U18 National Team, he has been chosen to play in the McDonald's All-American Game, the Jordan Brand Classic and the Nike Hoop Summit. Bamba is ranked as the nation's No. 2 recruit in the Class of 2017 by Scout.com and is a finalist for the Naismith High School Boys Player of the Year award.
Bamba has maintained a B average in the classroom. He remains undecided upon a collegiate destination.
Bamba has volunteered as a mentor for young students. "Bamba does everything well on the basketball court," said Seth Eilberg, head coach at The Hill School. "He's got a ridiculous wingspan and he dunks, shoots threes, passes the ball, and he can change the game on defense. He's so quick off his feet and he's got great timing-it's really impossible to prepare for him."
