Now, his decision to return to Duke could be a major boost to his NBA draft stock. Had last season gone the way Ngongba had hoped, he likely would have entered the NBA Draft or at least tested the waters. Instead, Duke gets to bring back one of its most impactful players, while Ngongba gets another opportunity to improve his draft stock. CBS Sports' Cameron Salerno recently mentioned the Duke big man as one of the biggest potential NBA Draft risers among players returning to college basketball heading into the upcoming season. Hopefully, Ngongba can remain healthy throughout the entire season, and the rest should take care of itself, as there are few to no questions surrounding his talent.
