We barely got to see Mgbako play, and when he did play he was not 100%, so I don't feel like I really know what he's going to bring to the table if/when he's fully healthy.

Are there any good player comparisons to give an idea of what to potentially look forward to?

Not saying he is this good, but his playing style reminded me of watching Durant back when he played for the sips against Acie.

So far he's been doing a pretty good Cashius McNeilly impression.

Barnes plays a lot of 4.

Oh boy. This might be on Barkley Tyler Davis level. Mgbako didn't show he can handle the ball that well and doesn't have nearly the bag Durant has. All we saw was him being a good 3 point shooter.

I think this is a good comparison. Mgbako seems to be little bigger and little more athletic, but skill level and shooting similar to Jalen Jones.

Clemence on offense is a poor man's versions of that white kid from Baylor a couple of years ago. On defense, who knows.

Just looking at stats out of curiosity (not trying to defend nor counter your post). Comparing Jones' final season to Mgbako's second year at Indiana in which Jones played 27 minutes per game over 33 games to Mgbako's 25 minutes per game over 32 games: Jones finished the year with 27 dunks to Mgbako's 11. Jones finished 113 shots at the rim to Mgbako's 55. Mgbako made 47 3's on 143 attempts (32.9%) to Jones' 34 3's on 105 attempts (32.4%), although Jones shot 33.9% from 3 in conference play while Mgbako shot 26.9%. Jones averaged 7.2 rebounds per game to Mgbako's 4.6. Systems, positions, and surrounding players obviously play a huge role in stats and, for context, this is comparing a senior vs. sophomore.
