Former UL Star Bryant Mbamalu Playing In Chile
A former Louisiana Ragin' Cajun basketball star is continuing his professional basketball career in Chile.
Bryant Mbamalu, who played for Louisiana for four years, from the 2010-2011 season through the 2013-2014 campaign, is a guard for Club Deportivo Valdivia, of Liga Nacionale de Básquetbol de Chile, the top professional basketball league in Chile, where he has played the last couple of seasons.
A native of Houston, Texas, and a graduate of Dulles High School, Mbamalu scored 1,077 points in his collegiate career, one of only 48 players in UL basketball history to eclipse 1,000 points, despite missing significant time his senior season with an injury.
The 6-foot-2, 193-pound Mbamalu has also been a member of the Nigerian National Team.
The 26-year old Mbamalu averaged over 20 points-per-game last season, after averaging slightly over 15 ppg in 2016-2017.
