Malick Badiane is one of the most popular and richest Senegalese basketball player who was born on January 1, 1984 in Dakar, Dakar Region, Senegal.

Badiane was also present at the 2006 FIBA World Championship in Saitama (Saitama), Japan.

Then general manager of the Rockets Carroll Dawson said in 2007 that Badiane was an intriguing prospect and that the Rockets still did intend to bring him to the NBA at some future point, after he had continued to develop his game and skills in Europe. Dawson claimed that Badiane still had value to the Rockets because at 6’11” and 240 pounds, he had a 7’4″ wingspan, a 32″ vertical leap, and was seen as a solid defensive and rebounding talent, playing both interior positions. Dawson also stated that Badiane “…is still very raw and still needs several years of skill development.”

On February 21, 2008, Badiane’s draft rights were traded to the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for the draft rights to Sergei Lishchuk. He played in the Las Vegas Summer League with the Grizzlies’ summer squad, and his play there earned him a spot on the team’s training camp roster. However, after appearing in only one preseason match, he was waived. He then signed with the Anaheim Arsenal of the NBA D-League.

Badiane was projected to be a mid-to late first round pick in 2003 NBA Draft. He was also the next big Senegal center. However, he was not selected until the second round by the Houston Rockets with the 44th pick. The Rockets would only see him twice in Summer League play.
