Patrick Ngongba II Scouting Report: Duke’s Big Man, NBA Draft Comps to Isaiah Hartenstein, Brad Miller, Wendell Carter Jr., and Day’Ron Sharpe

Duke center Patrick Ngongba II is one of the most efficient big men in college basketball, and on this episode of Locked On NBA Draft we break down his game. The 6'11", 250-pound former top-25 recruit posted a 24.6 PER last season, and he’s off to a big start this year, with 19 points and 8 rebounds per game through Duke’s first two games.

We dig into his finishing, his passing, his rebounding, and the questions around his foul rate, free throw shooting, and range. We also get into NBA comparisons to Isaiah Hartenstein, Brad Miller, Wendell Carter Jr., and Day’Ron Sharpe. Which one does he look like most? How much of his game is built on skill and feel, and what does his three-point shot need to become for him to be a true starting-caliber NBA center? We also talk about where he could land on draft boards.
