Mfiondu Kabengele Stats

Despite coming off the bench, Mfiondu Kabengele led the Florida State Seminoles with 13.2 points per game (PPG). Kabengele's wingspan and frame have also helped him become a serviceable rebounder, averaging 5.9 rebounds per game (RPG) as a sophomore.

Kabengele is Dikembe Mutombo's nephew, and he might have inherited some shot-blocking ability from him, having averaged 1.5 blocks per game (BPG) last season.

However, Kabengele is not a finished product. He often makes bad decisions with the ball, averaging 1.3 turnovers per game to just 0.3 assists per game (APG). Kabengele also struggled to stay out of foul trouble, averaging 2.6 fouls per game, despite playing just 21.6 minutes per game.

Mfiondu Kabengele NBA Draft Predictions

Indiana Pacers (No. 18) or Charlotte Hornets (No. 36)

The range of outcomes for Kabengele in this draft is vast. However, his defensive prowess, NBA-ready body and ability to protect the rim could make him a great fit for the Indiana Pacers at No. 18.

With Frank Kaminsky set to enter restricted free agency, the Charlotte Hornets could be looking for his replacement this summer. Kabengele could be a great fit if he falls to No. 36, as he's a versatile defender with intriguing offensive upside.
