Clint N'Dumba Capela (born May 18, 1994) is a Swiss professional basketball player for the Atlanta Hawks of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Known for his rebounding and shot-blocking abilities, he was selected with the 25th overall pick in the 2014 NBA draft by the Houston Rockets.

Contents

Capela began his professional career in 2012 with Élan Chalon of the LNB Pro A, where he played for two seasons and was honored as both the Pro A Best Young Player and Most Improved Player before declaring for the NBA draft in 2014. His breakout season came in 2016–17 with the Rockets, as he saw a substantial increase in his role as a center and a key defensive player. He achieved the league's highest field goal percentage during the 2017–18 season, his 62.1% career field goal accuracy is the fourth highest in NBA history, and has remained among the top players in rebounds and blocks, leading the NBA in rebounding during the 2021–22 season. He has represented the Swiss national team.

Early years

Capela was born in Geneva, Switzerland, to an Angolan father and Congolese mother. [2] [3] His parents separated a few months after his birth, leaving his mother to raise him and his brothers by herself. As a child, at first he liked soccer. He was raised partly in foster care. [4] Because he was 1.90 m (6 ft 3 in) as a 13-year-old, his brother suggested he switch sports. After meeting Swiss basketball icon Thabo Sefolosha, Capela became more and more fascinated with basketball. At 15 years old, he was spotted at the European Junior Championships with the Swiss team and joined the Chalon-sur-Saône training center, INSEP, in France. [5]
