Flory Bidunga 

2024 | 6-9 Big | Indiana Elite (3SSB) & Kokomo (IN) 

Recruitment: Holds offers from the likes of Purdue, Indiana, Auburn, Cincinnati, Creighton, Wake Forest, and more 

Analysis: Bidunga is a powerful and high-motor big with a valuable two-way presence on the floor. He uses his upper body strength + physicality to carve up space around the rim for clean looks. He’s an explosive, emphatic, and reliable finisher on the interior with a bouncy vertical. Bidunga is a rebounding machine on both ends of the floor who uses his size, athleticism, and strength to outrebound opposing bigs. His motor on the glass allows him to frequently earn putback opportunities. He’s a mobile rim runner that has the speed to beat opposing bigs down the floor in transition. Bidunga is limited offensively outside of the paint, although he’s shown flashes of his ability to convert face-up jumpers. Defensively, he’s an elite rim protector that has natural timing instincts for blocking + deflecting shots in the lane. He’s a physical interior defender that uses his strength to keep opponents out of the paint. As Bidunga continues to expand his shooting range and IQ he's a prospect to keep tabs on. There is a ton of upside with his combination of production, his high motor, and his physical tools.
