Côte d’Ivoire is going to surprise some teams this U17 World Cup thanks to improved backcourt play led by Barakel Koffi. He’s been a steady game manager who finishes really well and plays both sides of the ball with intensity.

The 2010-born guard consistently created advantages with the ball in his hands, keeping his team within striking distance throughout the game. Whenever Côte d’Ivoire needed a basket, Koffi responded with confident decision-making and timely shot creation. ➡️ Offensive focal point with natural leadership qualities. ⸻ ⚡ Explosive First Step & Rim Pressure One of Koffi’s biggest strengths is his ability to beat defenders off the dribble. He repeatedly showed: Explosive first step Excellent change of pace Tight ball handling Ability to turn the corner in pick-and-roll situations Constant pressure on the paint Australia struggled to contain him once he gained an advantage, allowing him to consistently create quality scoring opportunities. His downhill game remains one of the strongest parts of his offensive profile.

Pair of standouts for @Canada_Elite 15u in a marquee matchup with Durant Jabrieel Ford (8) -Ultra quick floor general that gets into gaps on the ball while providing value as a timely cutter off the ball. Loved his pace on downhill drives as he read the defense well to score or pass Barakel Koffie (5) -Dynamic athlete that left a physical imprint on the game at both ends of the floor. Koffie used a strong frame to bully his way to spots at the offensive end of the floor and provide defensive versatility as a physical POA or post defender
