Name: Kany Tchanda
Position: Forward
Year: Freshman
Number: 8
Height: 6’9”
Hometown: Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo
Background: Tchanda attended Sunrise Christian Academy in Bel Aire, Kansas for his final year of high school. As a senior, he averaged 10.5 points and 5.6 rebounds while shooting 60% from the field and 50% from three. He was rated as a four-star recruit by ESPN and a three-star by 247Sports.
Season Outlook: Tchanda is long and can stretch the floor with his shooting ability. BC’s front-court group is pretty wide open, so it remains to be seen what role Tchanda will have, but that scoring ability will certainly be helpful to fill out a roster that is losing a lot of talent. Earl Grant is in need of versatile players that can fill in with strong defense and shooting, and Tchanda provides just that, even if he is a fairly young and raw talent.
