Every year, the NBA Draft is littered with prospects that are only scratching the surface in their developments, whether due to having a reserve role in college and/or coming to the game later in childhood than most.
Florida State big man Mfiondu Kabengele checks both boxes and after an incredibly productive sophomore season with the Seminoles, he’s ready to take the next step in his basketball career.
A three-star recruit coming out of high school, the uber-athletic Canadian only received one scholarship offer heading into his senior season in high school, which came from Binghamton University.
Bypassing the offer, Kabengele subsequently moved to the States in the hopes of catching a look from more high-profile basketball schools.
