Paulin Mpawe brings size, rebounding, and low-usage frontcourt depth to Idaho
Mpawe, a 6-10 forward for Idaho, is best viewed as a physical, interior role player rather than a high-usage scorer: ESPN lists him at 1.9 points and 2.2 rebounds per game, while Idaho’s 2025-26 roster notes 0.9 points and 1.2 rebounds per game, underscoring a limited offensive load and bench-style impact.[2][3] His value is in his size, rebounding presence, and defensive length, which can help a team that wants a hard-to-miss paint body without needing touches.[1][3]
