Kansas center Flory Bidunga plans to declare for the 2026 NBA Draft and enter the transfer portal, multiple outlets reported.
The 6-foot-10 sophomore forward averaged 13.3 points, 9.0 rebounds and a Big 12-leading 2.6 blocks in 35 games (34 starts) for the Jayhawks in 2025-26.
Bidunga also led the conference in field-goal percentage (.640) and was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year and a first-team All-Big 12 selection.
Projected as a second-round pick by most draft experts, Bidunga intends to maintain his option to return to college. He would become the top player among the 800-plus already intending to enter the portal, according to ESPN.
Bidunga helped Kansas (24-11) reach the NCAA Tournament as a No. 4 seed. The Jayhawks lost to St. John’s 67-65 in the second round.
