Koloko, Christian  Arizona  7'1" 225 C jr. 

Koloko is a remarkably agile BIG that helped anchor a very good Arizona team in 2021-22. He averaged 12.6 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 2.8 blocked shots per game (that led the Pac 12). He knows what he is. He scores near the basket and in transition on rim runs. He did not make any threes in college. His wingspan is 7'5.25". Koloko had slightly more turnovers (59) than assists (51). Rt. Handed but will use his left if needed near the basket. ...Koloko won the Pac 12 Most Improved Player and Defensive Player of the Year Award. Arizona was 4.4 points per 100 possession better defensively with Koloko on the floor. He led the Pac 12 in boxscore plus/minus, and in true shooting percentage (66.1%). ...We think Koloko gets drafted early in round two. We believe he is a future NBA starting Center and we would take him much earlier. 

 

Our best advice: in 2015, the 19th pick was Jerian Grant. We advised, "draft Bobby Portis."
