As the Golden State Warriors look to get back into playoff contention next season, they'll be looking for impact players at the NBA Draft in June.

In a recent mock draft by NBA analyst Kevin O'Connor, the Warriors landed Flory Bidunga (Kansas) in the second round with the No. 54 overall selection.

Bidunga played two years for the Jayhawks, winning the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year Award last season.

In 35 games for Kansas last year, the 6'9" Congolese forward posted 13.3 points, nine rebounds and 1.5 assists. He also led the conference in blocks (2.6) and field goal percentage (64%).

For these reasons, Bidunga would be a high-upside selection that would fit right in on the defensive end.

However, there's a high chance Bidunga returns to school, having committed to Lousiville as a transfer.
