Chris Mpaka, Tarleton State’s all-time blocks leader and standout forward, has signed his first pro contract to play in France for Rouen Métropole Basket in the LNB Pro B League. After dominating college basketball with 74 career blocks, 56 games played, and a stellar 50% FG average, Mpaka’s journey from the Republic of the Congo to the hardwood continues — this time on the international stage. His coach Eric Haut hailed him as a bright future, while Rouen, a storied French team with NBA pedigree, welcomes him as the latest U.S. college standout to join their ranks. The season kicks off in just over two months — don’t miss Mpaka’s rise.
