While he failed to develop at the pace the Pistons would have wanted, there is no doubt he has the physical tools to be a solid contributor for a team.</p><p>It remains to be seen if the Lakers can further develop Doumbouya, but it will certainly help the youngster to be around players like LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Ironically, the Lakers now have two of the pieces involved in that swap.</p><p>Doumbouya actually played against the Lakers in the first preseason game of the year, on Oct. 3, as a member of the Nets (he scored 11 points in 13 minutes). Shortly thereafter, he was <a href="https://netswire.usatoday.com/2021/10/06/brooklyn-nets-trade-sekou-doumbouya-houston-rockets/">dealt</a> to the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/houston-rockets/news">Houston Rockets</a> for cap-saving reasons, then was promptly waived.</p><p>Doumbouya has French citizenship and is the first player born in Guinea to be drafted into the NBA.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

That’s what this league is about – no boys allowed.”</blockquote><p>Over his last eight games, Doumbouya is averaging 14.0 points and 5.3 rebounds while shooting 54.4 percent from the field, 41.4 percent from beyond the arc and 70.0 percent from the free-throw line.</p><p>Doumbouya put up 24 points on Wednesday to help the Pistons get an impressive road win over the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/boston-celtics">Boston Celtics</a>. Rose scored  22 points and dished out six assists while shooting 11-of-13 from the floor. He’s now scored at least 20 points in seven straight games for the Pistons.</p><p>The Pistons are 15-27 on the season.
