Toure on his game + what he’s looking for in a school

In a previous interview with Rivals, Abdou Toure broke down his game.

“I’d say my game has developed into more stronger, being able to put the ball on the floor more, and really consistent shooting,” Toure tells On3. “I can really do everything and try to win. That’s all I do, try to win the game. I’d say I really watch a lot of Shai (Gilgeous-Alexander) and Ant Edwards. I watch Ant Edwards with his mentality and his physicality, the way he gets to the rim, the way he finishes above the rim. And Shai, with his pace.”

He also knows what he wants in a college program. 

“I want to go somewhere where I could just be myself and play my game. My game is fast-paced, downhill, and I play defense. I want to go somewhere I can develop and get to the NBA.”
