It is hard to pinpoint a need for a team with five All-Stars, so they simply select the best available player here.
Mfiondu Kabengele is a player that is rising up draft boards. His ability to stretch the floor and protect the rim makes him very appealing in today’s NBA.
Kabengele shot 38.2% from three during his career at Florida State. He also Improved his free throw percentage by over 10% the season.
Defensively, he averages 2.8 blocks per 40 minutes. His 6’10 height, 7’1″ wingspan, and athleticism raises his ceiling.
DeMarcus Cousins will hit free agency this summer, and the Warriors may not be able to afford him with Durant also on the open market. Adding Kabengele could help them in the short term and long term.
