Height: 6-7
Weight: 195
College: Seton Hall
Classification: Fifth-Year Senior
Birthdate: 3/1/2000

Projected Draft Range: Likely Undrafted

Pros:

Excels at scoring on off-ball motion plays
Adequate scorer off the dribble
Adequate playmaker for his size
Decent defender
Good shot blocker
Above avg athlete
Good motor

Cons:                     

Needs to improve his shooting
Can struggle to score against length and athleticism
Unselfish to a fault

Can be undisciplined defensively, is foul prone
Not an elite athlete
Classic tweener, is in between forward positions

Summary:

KC Ndefo is an athletic, energetic forward that helped lead Saint Peter’s to get to the Elite Eight of the 2022 NCAA Tournament.  He is a solid interior defender that can block many shots, and he will also attack the basket to score and get assists for his team.  He will need to improve his jump shot, and he also may need to adjust to playing the small forward position at higher levels.  He will need to expand his game on the offensive end, but his motor, intangibles, and feel for the game could enable him to compete for a roster spot in the NBA someday.
