WSU's Nigerian Rim Protector Turned G League Pro Prospect
Efe Abogidi, the 6-9 Nigerian forward from Washington State, electrified the Cougars with Pac-12 All-Freshman honors in 2020-21 (8.9 PPG, 7.2 RPG, 1.3 BPG) and All-Defensive Honorable Mention in 2021-22 before a season-ending knee injury; now thriving in the G League at 12.6 PPG and 6.6 RPG in 2025-26 with Ignite. His elite shot-blocking (2.3 BPG in NIT), athleticism, and relentless intensity make him a defensive anchor and rebounding force—perfect for teams needing a high-motor big with NBA Global Academy polish and untapped upside.
