On Tuesday, Flory Bidunga and the Kansas Jayhawks beat a frisky Syracuse Orange team 71-60 in their second game of the Players Era Festival. Bidunga showcased his intriguing upside as an NBA prospect yet again, recording 13 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 blocks. He did struggle in the turnover department with 7 TOs, but still clearly bolstered his NBA stock.
On the season, Bidunga is now averaging an impressive 16.7 PPG (on 69.8% shooting), 7.7 RPG, 2.7 BPG, and 2.0 APG. He has been a force on both ends of the floor, and while to start the year, he was viewed as a fringe first-round pick for the NBA, it is becoming more and more obvious that he might be a lock for the first round… So let's look at some NBA player comparisons!
