Mogbo has the size of a big and can playmake as a guard. He’s got great athleticism and has high defensive upside. He will come into the NBA as a non-shooter.
On defense Mogbo is capable of playing both on and off the ball and he can defend multiple positions. He’s got great energy who does the little things well.
Mogbo was named to the All-WCC first team last season.
