“Because He’s Not Good”: Fans Make Feelings Clear as Flory Bidunga Pulls Out of NBA Draft

Flory Bidunga has officially pulled out of the 2026 NBA Draft and will return to college for another year, which probably would not have surprised many considering he wasn’t a guaranteed early pick in this year’s draft.

His return to college, however, won’t be back at the Kansas Jayhawks, where he was instrumental across a short spell alongside other top players, making the Kansas program even more lucrative for young talent.

He will instead transfer to Louisville, where he had committed back in April during the college transfer portal. In what is clearly a major victory for head coach Pat Kelsey, Bidunga adds a completely different element to the team that is eyeing a major prize after investing heavily in their squad.

Fans took to social media to comment on the situation and let their feelings be known, with some suggesting a national championship might be on the way, while others questioned just how good Bidunga really was.

“NBA didn’t want a 6’7” center?”, one fan asked.
