Mbiya is a breakout candidate for Iowa State's 2026-27 season, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Analysis:As part of Kansas, Mbiya has logged a limited role because KU preferred fellow forward-center Flory Bidunga. But after his transfer to Louisville, Mbiya's opportunities can be more than significantly improved, the question is how much. During his 2025-26 season, he logged 1.2 points and 1.4 rebounds per game. Worth noting is that Mbiya barely averaged more than 5.0 minutes, so more time should exponentially increase the aforementioned rates.
