Kansas’s rim-protecting, high-efficiency frontcourt anchor
In the 2025-26 season, Flory Bidunga emerged as a nightmare around the rim for Kansas, averaging 13.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks while shooting 64.0% from the field. He brings elite length, real interior finishing, and game-changing shot blocking, and he was strong enough to earn Big 12 Player of the Week honors and a spot on the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Center of the Year watch list. The catch: he offers almost no perimeter spacing, so he fits best with guards and wings who can stretch the floor around his paint pressure.
