Myck Kabongo
Myck Lukusa Kabongo (born January 12, 1992) is a Congolese-Canadian former professional basketball player currently working as an assistant coach and player development coach for the Salt Lake City Stars of the NBA G League. He played college basketball for the Texas Longhorns.
In international competition, Kabongo played for the DR Congo national team, with whom he played at AfroBasket 2017.
Kabongo started his high school career at Eastern Commerce Collegiate Institute in Toronto in Grade 9. He then transferred before Grade 10 alongside fellow Canadian Tristan Thompson for a season-and-a-half at St. Benedict's Prep before Thompson was removed from the team and transferred to Findlay Prep in Henderson, Nevada. Kabongo stayed at St. Benedict's through his Grade 11 season before he transferred to Findlay Prep for 12th Grade year. Kabongo was the #10 player in the class of 2011 by Scout.com and in the ESPNU 100. Rivals.com rated as the #26 player. He was selected to play in the 2011 McDonald's All-American Game and the 2011 Jordan Brand Classic.
Kabongo committed to Texas on January 12, 2009 on his 17th birthday. On October 30, 2010, Kabongo decommitted from Texas, but 5 days later, he recommitted, and signed his letter of intent.
Kabongo started playing for Texas in the 2011–12 season. Kabongo was under investigation for alleged inappropriate contact with Rich Paul, an agent who also handles the contracts of former Findlay Prep and current NBA players Tristan Thompson and Cory Joseph. Initially banned for the entire 2012–13 season, his suspension was later reduced to 23 games, and he made his debut in mid-February and would go on to average 14.6 points per game in eleven games.
In April 2013, he declared for the NBA draft, forgoing his final two years of college eligibility.
After going undrafted in the 2013 NBA draft, Kabongo joined the Miami Heat for the 2013 NBA Summer League. On September 30, 2013, he signed with the San Antonio Spurs. However, he was waived by the Spurs on October 15, 2013. On October 31, 2013, he was acquired by the Austin Toros of the NBA Development League.
On October 30, 2014, Kabongo was acquired by the Austin Spurs. On November 1, 2014, he was traded to the Fort Wayne Mad Ants. On December 29, 2014, he was waived by the Mad Ants after appearing in 16 games while averaging 8.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game. On January 9, 2015, he was acquired by the Texas Legends. Five days later, he was waived by the Legends after appearing in just two games.
