Expert Analysis
Colby Giacubeno | Prep Hoops Scout
Now at The St. James Academy playing for Book Richardson in the EYBL Scholastic league, Kabugi adds size, motor, and versatility to the frontcourt rotation. He’s a guy who doesn’t understand what it means to be tired, or at least that’s how he plays. It seems like any activity on the glass, any lazy pass, or any 50/50 results in Kabugi being in the mix with a hand in things and more times than not, ending up with the possession. He showed off some intriguing tools offensively too both on and off the ball. His handle is good enough to, in times, be an initiator. Getting downhill and absorbing contact comes into play with his chiseled frame. He can mix it up and make jumpers off the bounce and can make defenders sprint out to closeout and utilize his bursty first step before attacking the rim.
