7-foot Kansas City forward Babacar Mbengue brings shot-blocking upside in limited minutes
Babacar Mbengue is a high-motor 7-footer for the Kansas City Roos whose value shows up more on defense than in the box score: in 2025-26 he has averaged about 0.9 points and 0.7 rebounds in short bursts, and he recently blocked four shots in 10 minutes, a clear sign of rim-protection upside. He is not a volume scorer, but his size, timing, and ability to change shots make him a useful fit for teams needing interior depth and disruptive defense rather than offense-first production.[11][15][18]
