Mgbako, a five-star recruit who originally signed with Duke, said at IU’s media day last September he planned to be a one-and-done in Bloomington.
When asked by a member member whether he planned to be working out at an NBA training camp come the fall of 2024, Mgbako’s response was simple.
“Yes.”
But through the first five games of his Indiana career, the Gladstone, New Jersey native didn’t look the part of a one-and-done.
In Indiana’s season opener against Florida Gulf Coast – a 69-63 Hoosier victory – Mgbako shot just 2-for-6 from the field and scored four points.
