South Africa2025-2026 OUTLOOK
Ismails first full season was a success by the metric that matters most. He took home the most important award of Man of the Year, given to the brother exemplifying the traits we most look for in a person, not just a basketball player. Consistently cool, positive and level-headed, not just with his teammate but also with his peers on the other side of the ball. That being said, His Airness finished 14th in GN PTS, which is abysmal for a Top 5 pick. Yet he was 1st in PPG , and 2nd in GN PPG for the season! Ismails season came down to his game day fitness. When he’s fresh and his team is winning, Ismail is a force to be reckoned with. However, when too much is asked early in the day, then he can dissapear in a hurry. Only thing stopping Ismail from being the best is himself, and maybe, just maybe father time.
PLAYER DESCRIPTION
His Airness graces the league as a full timer in 2024-2025. Kara is the strongest man in the league which makes his incredible air time that much more awe inspiring. He’s an absolute dominate force inside the paint but add guard like handles and a great, classic shooting form and Ismail has a chance to be on top of the GNBL mountain.
