Averages 10.4 PPG and 4.9 RPG.
Significant SEC News.
Aggies were 6-1 with Mgbako in the lineup this season and the one loss came in OT.

Worst possible news we could get
Quote:
Despite having ideal wing size, Mgbako lacks elite physical tools his 33.0" max vertical was one of the lower measurements among wings at the Combine … Doesn't possess explosive leaping ability or quick-twitch athleticism, limiting his ability to separate off the dribble or finish in traffic … Struggles in isolation and hasn't shown the ability to create consistently against closeouts or mismatches … His offensive production in college was solid but plateaued averaging nearly identical stats in both seasons (12.2 PPG, 4.6 RPG, 43.7% FG, 32.9% 3PT), which raises questions about whether he's already close to his ceiling … Doesn't provide much as a playmaker, with a near 1:1 assist-to-turnover ratio and a low overall assist rate … Lacks foot speed and lateral mobility on defense rarely a disruptive presence, as reflected in his low steals (0.3 SPG) and blocks (0.5 BPG) … Defensive instincts remain a work in progress, and he can struggle staying in front of quicker players or rotating on time in help situations … Not dynamic in transition, and his limited burst hampers his effectiveness when running the lane or finishing on the break
