## Resource

Patrick Ngongba II more than doubled his scoring during a breakout sophomore season and looked like a potential first-round pick before a foot injury interrupted his momentum. Now back at Duke, Rafael and James discuss whether Ngongba can take another leap, how his game translates to the modern NBA and whether he could ultimately become the first Blue Devil selected in the 2027 NBA Draft.
