A constant criticism has followed Orlando Magic center Mohamed Bamba since his college days. He is described as having a low "motor." That does not exactly lend itself to a definition.

The Orlando Magic have officially shut down Mohamed Bamba for the Summer League. Now the focus turns to filling out the rest of the roster. Which diamonds in the rough will emerge from the pressure?

Mohamed Bamba made his triumphant return to the court. He shook off some rust to have an impressive opening game. He still has some things to work on, but it is hard not to call his return a success. Meanwhile, Markelle Fultz made an appearance at Summer League to support the Magic and all anyone can talk about is his progress. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

There was much fanfare and debate about Mohamed Bamba's arrival with the Orlando Magic. He was expected to make an immediate defensive impact. But his impact was not quite felt. That was expected, but it was still a decision -- the only decision -- the Magic made that hurt their bottom line. But it should help them in the long run. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Orlando Magic got some bad news Tuesday as Mohamed Bamba is out with a stress fracture in his left tibia. It is a big loss and the Magic will have to assess their rookie without a complete season. But they have a replacement ready off the bench. Khem Birch has already shown he is capable of filling that void. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Orlando Magic's season has surprisingly given them a chance at making the Playoffs. But a central tension has emerged. Do the Magic bring back Mohamed Bamba and make his development a priority? Or do they stick with Khem Birch and ride the hot hand for a few more wins? These kinds of questions color every decision the Magic will make from here on out. Learn more about your ad choices.

Mohamed Bamba was always going to have his ups and downs his rookie year. Physically, he always had a lot to learn and grow that would take more than this year. In Wednesday's blowout victory over the Chicago Bulls, the Orlando Magic appeared to let him loose and he made a big impact in the game as he showed exactly what makes him so promising.

The Orlando Magic had high hopes for Mohamed Bamba when they drafted him sixth overall. They believed they would get someone who would transform their defense. That has not quite happened yet. The Magic's defense is actually worse with Bamba on the floor. A lot of it is a rookie getting up to speed. And that has Bamba in the right role for him. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Orlando Magic have high hopes for Mohamed Bamba. And he has played exceptionally well to start the season.

Media Day is finally here! The Orlando Magic's 2019 season is coming into focus. And much of that focus rests with Mohamed Bamba. Bamba has tremendous potential to change the Magic's defensive identity.

The Orlando Magic got a foundational piece in drafting Mohamed Bamba. But undoubtedly, he will ask fans to be patient as he develops. He still has a lot of room to grow and a long way to go as a player before he is ready to make meaningful contributions. The Magic will have to manage his workload and put him in a place to succeed to get the most out of him. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Mohamed Bamba will become the Orlando Magic's starting center at some point. But the Orlando Magic are likely to let him take things slowly. That makes Nikola Vucevic still vitally important for the team, both to help the team win and to teach Bamba the finer points of the NBA. Learn more about your ad choices.

It is time to put a bow on Summer League. What did we learn about Jonathan Isaac, Mohamed Bamba and the Orlando Magic? Even in five meaningless games, plenty. The team showed off a strong defensive identity and the potential of its length. They also showed just how much work they have to do offensively and the work to do the rest of the summer.

The Orlando Magic wanted to see just what kind of devastating effect Mohamed Bamba and Jonathan Isaac could have. They are seeing that clearly in their first two Summer League games as both have unleashed a devastating defensive attack. Orlando is looking like a team with an identity it can try in the regular season.That will come without Bismack Biyombo. The team traded away Bismack Biyombo for Jerian Grant and Timofey Mozgov in a three-team deal. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Orlando Magic surprised no one in taking Mohamed Bamba with the sixth overall pick. So what did they get in him? Obviously length and defensive ability. But everyone seems excited he could be a whole lot more. A culture setter and someone who can change the team's identity by his presence. Only time will tell if he is successful.

On today's episode, we dive into two guys from the second tier of big men in this year's lottery, Mohamed Bamba and Wendell Carter Jr.At Texas, Bamba went from one of the most exciting young prospects in the draft from a physical standpoint and as a prototypical versatile Suns piece, to being talked about in the back half of the lottery. He didn't exert his advantages nearly often enough in college, but has gotten right to work this summer developing his jump shot with Joel Embiid and Embiid's trainer.Carter is a high-floor guy who has garnered Al Horford comparisons as an all-around big man, but will probably need to be in a perfect system to be maximized. He balances out Dragan Bender in interesting ways, but may never be a valuable enough offensive player to be a great starter in the NBA.Who makes more sense for the Suns based on what we know about their needs and priorities?

With the All-Star break upon us, we took the time today to bridge the gap until Devin Booker's 3-point contest performance with some draft talk.Marvin Bagley is one of the most productive players in all of college basketball this season, leading a disjointed Duke roster to a promising season and maintaining his stock as one of the top available big men in this year's draft.Jaren Jackson Jr. has made the most of limited opportunities under Michigan State coach Tom Izzo and finally looks to be turning the corner after an explosive performance against Minnesota this week.Mohamed Bamba has grown into a dominant rim protector and potential floor-spacer this year on a thin Texas roster, but questions remain about his motor and passion.Which of these three is the better overall prospect? Which fits best in Phoenix? That and more in this peek at the top of the 2018 draft. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
