Birthdate: Unknown

Projected Draft Range: Likely Undrafted

Pros:

Decent shooter
Excels at scoring on off-ball motion plays
Moves well off the ball on offense
Adequate playmaker for his size
Solid defender
Above average athlete

Cons:

Streaky shooter
Lacks an elite first step off the dribble
Can be careless on offense, which can lead to turnovers
Not an elite ball handler

Summary:

Kong Kong is an athletic, skilled swingman that can shoot and score the basketball. He played very well in the first game he played at the 2023 NTX Combine, but struggled in the second game he played. He is a sharpshooter that excels at making spot-up threes off the catch, and he also moves well without the ball on offense. He may be a longshot to be drafted, but could project into a 3 and D role in the NBA.
