6’10” / 205 lbs / Forward

Tidjan Keita is a 6’10”, 205-pound forward/center with a noteworthy 7’3” wingspan. After a stint playing with the Northern Arizona Suns - the G League affiliate for the Phoenix Suns and some time overseas. Tidjan is now playing in Germany for Vfl Kirchheim Knights

The 23-year-old from Paris, France came into the professional basketball scene almost entirely unknown. With DraftExpress ranking him as one of the top 100 prospects, he entered the 2017 NBA draft with a name that was almost unsearchable on Google. The reason being - Keita had only started playing the sport in 2014.

Despite the setback of time, he quickly became an impactful player on the court. The young Frenchman made his way to North America when he transferred to Thetford Academy in Quebec from Paris. Here he was able to showcase his length, jumping ability and impressive shooting range from deep. During his 2019 - 20 campaign playing in Europe for the BBC Coburg, Tidjan was able to put up solid numbers. He averaged 15.1 points per game, 7.5 rebounds, all with an exceptional .589% from the field. 

We’re very proud to welcome this exceptional young man to our #DSMFamily and wish him all the best as he continues his journey through the professional basketball ranks!
