Summary:
Patrick Ngongba II is a strong, athletic big man that plays for Duke. He can catch lobs and finish plays above the rim, and he is a good passer and screen setter that can help his teammates on offense. He’ll need to be a more consistent rebounder and defender when he is on the floor, but he is a high upside prospect that could end up being a first round pick in the 2026 draft.
