2019 NBA Mock Draft 4.0
By Jakob Ashlin
Center. player. Scouting Report. Mfiondu Kabengele. 30. 89. Pick Analysis. Florida State
This pick is purely based on need. There is a good chance that the Milwaukee Bucks will not be able to retain center Brook Lopez this offseason.
Having a stretch five has completely transformed Milwaukee’s offense, and the front office will be searching for another player to fill that role.
Thon Maker was traded at the deadline, and if the team re-signs Khris Middleton this summer, they will not have much cap space to work with.
Mfiondu Kabengeleis a career 38.2% three-point shooter at Florida State. He has been rising up draft boards due to his potential to be a center that can stretch the floor and protect the rim. His outstanding performance in the NCAA tournament is only helping his stock. Kabengele posted 21 points and 10 rebounds against Vermont and followed that up with a 22 point performance against Murray State.
