Scouting report

Backcourt analysis

Rated 62, Noa Essengue is a deep-bench power forward whose value in Backcourt is roster cover rather than regular minutes.

His best fit is the Rim protector role, which anchors the defense, blocks shots and controls the defensive boards. His defense (69), rebounding (68) and inside scoring (60) are exactly what that role asks for, and the game rates the match as “Suits him”.

For a power forward, his standout attributes are defense (69) and speed (59), in the top 51% and 55% of power forwards respectively.

The trade-off is three-point (50), in the bottom 12% of power forwards — surround him with floor spacing so defenses cannot sag into the paint.

Plan his minutes around matchups and blowouts rather than a fixed nightly share. His stamina of 59 means his energy drains quickly, so watch the ENR column.

At 19 with a potential of 75, he is one of the clearest long-term projects in the pool — sustained minutes can take him well beyond his current 62.

He earns $8.0M a season with a transfer value of $28.3M — expensive for what he delivers.
