Career Highlights: A native of
Senegal, Badiane played there for the US Rail team until moving to Langen,
Germany in April 2002, where he played for Bundesliga II (second division) team
in Germany. Langen is a farm team for the Opel Skyliners, a team in Germany’s

In one of his top games, posted team-highs of 27 points and 15 rebounds vs. Ansbach. Once again led the team in points and rebounds with 27 points and 14 rebounds vs. Troster Breitengubach. In a 106-105 overtime loss to Ansbach, scored 22 points and grabbed 14 rebounds while adding three blocked shots in 39 minutes of play. Tallied 20 points, a season-high 16 rebounds and three blocked shots vs. KuSG Leimen. Scored 16 points (on 8-for-12 shooting) and added nine rebounds vs. Ratiopharm Ulm. |
Name: Malick Badiane Nickname: N/A Born: January 01, 1984 Status: Active Origin: Thies, Senegal Height: 6-10/2.08m Weight: 230lbs/104.3 kg Schools: N/A Drafted: 2003, Second Round, 44th overall, by the Houston Rockets Languages: N/A Website: InterBasket Teams (jersey): Langen (Germany), Deutsche Bank Skyliners Ibn Notes: With his strong body, hustle and long arms, Badiane is a fantastic rebounder and shot-blocker. Even though Malick played only a little over half a game (23.4 mins) he is still amongst the leading rebounders in the Germany's second division. Praised for his work ethic and internal want to succeed, the Houston Rockets hope that Malick will continue his improvement and fill the role of weak side defender for Yao Ming and giving Tracy McGrady second chance opportunities. Who knows? Maybe he'll develop into something more as his favorite basketball player did, Kevin Garnett. Ibn Facts: Malick Badiane has 18 brothers and sisters. Has an amazing wingspan of 2,22m. |
