Azubuike scores 13 points in NBA Combine game; Svi cools off with just one bucket | The Kansas City Star

Kansas center Udoka Azubuike, who scored 14 points and grabbed six rebounds on Thursday in his opening scrimmage at the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago, turned in a near-identical performance on Friday.

The 7-footer from Nigeria — he’s debating whether to keep his name in the 2018 NBA Draft or return to KU for a junior season — scored 13 points on 6-of-10 shooting (1 of 2 from the free-throw line) and grabbed four boards in Friday’s scrimmage. He had hit 7 of 10 shots in Thursday’s contest, misfiring on four free throws without a make.

Azubuike’s team actually defeated KU teammate Svi Mykhailiuk’s squad, 98-66, in Friday’s action.
