Mfiondu Kabengele- the next Draymond Green

Late first round sleeper pick, Clippers have him playing in Summer League now. Really coming into his own, can do it all - defend, shoot, rebound, block, pass, finish strong at rim. Like a young Draymond, but more explosive.

Wonder if there is any way to trade for him, though I can't see Jerry West making the mistake.

The most distinguishing area play of Draymond - in college and NBA action - has been his high capacity among big men: to handle the ball well and to see the floor, create mismatches and pass crisply so as to exploit them.

Mfiondu Kabengele doesn't do any of that at all.

I’ve liked him for a while now. He’s a poor man’s Al Horford. Plays with a lot of passion with and energy. 6’10 with long arms. I think he’s got some upside too, especially since he can already shoot the 3 pretty decently for a 5. He’s got to carve out and accept his role as a backup big in the NBA though.
