University of Kansas sophomore center Flory Bidunga has declared for the 2026 NBA Draft and entered the NCAA transfer portal, the school confirmed on April 2, 2026. The 6-foot-9 forward/center from the Democratic Republic of the Congo averaged 4.6 points and 4.1 rebounds per game this past season.
Bidunga, a former five-star recruit, retains his college eligibility and can withdraw from the draft by the NCAA's early entry deadline. By entering the transfer portal, he is also exploring options to play for another university next season. His decision comes amid significant roster changes for the Jayhawks following their 2025-26 campaign.
NBA scouts have noted Bidunga's athleticism and defensive potential. His declaration adds his name to the pool of prospects for the 2026 draft, which will be held on June 25, 2026. The move is part of a broader trend of players utilizing both the draft process and transfer portal to evaluate their professional and collegiate options simultaneously.
