Boston’s Mfiondu Kabengele credits Al Horford for help expanding his game

“Al is so cool and so calm and very welcoming for a guy who is so well established,” shared Kabengele of Horford.

Boston Celtics two way big man Mfiondu Kabengele may be called on to play a much bigger role with the Celtics than most two way players tend to be in any given season with their respective parent club. But Kabengele is not your typical G League player nor Boston a team in a typical position.

Boston’s two way big will help the team fill in for their higher-minutes big men to help them weather injury and regular-season mileage, with Kabengele also being a bit older and a first-round pick who has yet to be given the sort of opportunity he has with the Celtics. So far, he’s also had some help from at least one of the bigs he’ll help spell in veteran forward Al Horford.

“Al is so cool and so calm and very welcoming for a guy who is so well established,” related Kabengele to CLNS Media’s Bobby Manning after a recent practice with the team.
