Agreed, Shabamon. Most NBA power forwards seem to range from 6-8 up to 7-0 with most weighing from 230 up to 260. The thing is, most of the lighter guys are actually the taller guys as they rely more on their height than their weight.
At 6-9, 200 lbs NDour is basically in there if he was heavier. I am sure he could put on some weight but that is always tricky as you don't want to lose your quickness. That said, I can think of a few guys who were lacking in height or weight but NBA teams took fliers because of their long wingspan.
I wouldn't call this a comparison but rather just an example. Bismack Biyombo was drafted 7th a couple years ago. He is listed at 6-9, 229. He came into the NBA VERY raw but got a lot of interest largely because of his MASSIVE wingspan (7-7)
NDour has shown he can use his wingspan to block and alter shots. I would imagine NBA scouts love that.
