Former Kokomo Star Flory Bidunga Reportedly to Enter Transfer Portal, Explore NBA Draft
The sophomore averaged 13.3 points and 9.0 rebounds while weighing a return to Kansas after testing pro interest.
- On Thursday, Kansas Jayhawks forward Flory Bidunga announced his intent to declare for the 2026 NBA Draft while entering the NCAA transfer portal, maintaining his college eligibility.
- The Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year capped his breakout sophomore season averaging 13.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, and a conference-high 2.6 blocks per game for Kansas.
- Standing 6-foot-10 and 235 pounds, Bidunga led the Big 12 in field goal percentage, hitting 64% of his shots, and finished third in rebounding.
- ESPN analysts project the sophomore as a late first-round or early second-round NBA Draft pick and the top player among more than 800 currently in the transfer portal.
- Although Bidunga withdrew from the portal last offseason to remain with the Jayhawks, returning a second time is considered unlikely without significant roster changes.
