Moses Kingsley (born November 16, 1994) is a Nigerian professional basketball player for the Antwerp Giants of the Belgian League. He played college basketball for the Arkansas Razorbacks.

College career

In his first two years at Arkansas, Kingsley played behind Bobby Portis. He had a breakout junior season, averaging 15.9 points and 9.3 rebounds per game and flirted with the 2016 NBA Draft but decided to return.[1] Coming into his senior year, he was named preseason SEC Player of the year. He did not quite live up to the hype, but averaged 12 points, 7.7 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game and was a Second team All-SEC selection.[2] As a senior, Kingsley led the Razorbacks to a 26-10 record and second round appearance in the NCAA Tournament. In his career, he finished 25th on the all-time Razorback scoring list with 1,200 points. He had 24 double-doubles during his career at Arkansas and his 256 blocks are third-most in school history.[3]

Professional career

Kingsley participated with the Minnesota Timberwolves during the NBA Summer League. On August 12, 2017, he signed with the Antwerp Giants of the Basketball League Belgium Division I.[3]
