If the basketball world is crazy about Frenchman Wembanyama, beware of what is coming with another 'unicorn' of the sport as Aday Mara, a 17-year-old boy who is 2.20 metres tall and who has made his debut in the ACB league causing a sensation.

When the whole NBA, without having started this season, is anxious for the next draft to have Victor Wembanyama in the league, in Spain they are still rubbing their eyes with the appearance of another special player, who aims to be a star if the stars do not align against him.

We are talking about Aday Mara, a 2.20-metre centre who, at just 17 years, 6 months and 9 days old, made his debut in the ACB league with Casademont Zaragoza. He is the youngest player over 2.13 (seven feet) to make his debut in this competition. He had already played with the first team in a FIBA Europe Cup game in November 2021. 

And his numbers in that game between Los Manos and Baskonia even fall short of the sensations he left in his debut. 8 points (2 of 3 from 2 and 1 of 1 in three pointers), 4 rebounds and 1 assist in just 19 minutes. 

Mara is no stranger to the NBA environment. He already dazzled with the Spanish national team in the U17 World Cup. And performances like his debut, especially if they are repeated over time, will surely make him one of the future prospects for American franchises.
