At 6-foot-9 and roughly 220 pounds with broad shoulders, he’s hard to miss when you enter the gym. Bidunga is even harder to miss when the game starts. His motor only functions at the highest speed. He dunks everything and blocks even more than he dunks. Bidunga has great end-to-end speed and functions very well athletically.

That's an old article.

spent the weekend in Apex, love the little downtown. for right now we are getting a ton of love about this guy, hope the momentum keeps up
Lost Broome to AU, but I heard recently we didn’t have a real shot, as Pearl was recruiting him for almost a year prior.
