According to various news, the CBA team Shenzhen has completed the signing with Ibrahima Faye, a foreign aid who played for Shanxi last season, and he will also continue to stay in the CBA arena in the new season.

Faye, from Senegal, was born in January 1997. He is 28 years old, 206cm tall and weighs 102kg. He was the undraft in the 2019 NBA Draft. Faye has represented the Miami Heat in the NBA Summer League in 2019, but has not performed well. Faye has played in international competitions in the previous seasons. He has played in the Ligue 1, Ligue 2, Belgian League and CBA. Faye's performance in the European arena is still good. He can perform very well in the Ligue 1 team and can play a good role in both offense and defense. It is estimated that this is also an important factor in why he was favored by Shanxi team last season and was able to play for Shanxi team.

In the CBA regular season last season, Faye played a total of 37 games, averaging 19.1 minutes per game, averaging 7 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.5 blocks, and 1.4 turnovers and 2.3 fouls. His shooting percentage was 54.5%, three-point shooting percentage was 33.3%, and free throw shooting percentage was 60.6%. In the playoffs, Faye played 6 games in total, with averaging 15.5 minutes per game, averaging 4.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.8 blocks, and 0.8 turnovers and 1.8 fouls. His shooting percentage was 50% and his free throw percentage was 60%. Faye’s data in last season did not seem to be particularly outstanding, and it seems that his contribution to the offensive end was not particularly high, but considering that he does not play much and his tactical status in every game is not particularly high, it is already a good situation for him to perform like this.

From the perspective of Shenzhen team, Faye is actually a very good choice for foreign players. Faye is an underrated foreign aid. His effect on the court is actually not bad, and his personal ability on the defensive end is also quite outstanding. He has been in the CBA field for a whole season. He is also well aware of the characteristics and style of playing of the CBA team, and he should be able to adapt to the characteristics of the Shenzhen team very quickly. The Shenzhen team also looks quite pragmatic in choosing foreign players this summer. Although foreign players are not well-known, they still have distinctive characteristics and rich functions, which also shows that the team's uniform team is very thoughtful. I don’t know what kind of performance the Shenzhen team can perform in the CBA field in the new season.
