I'm all in on Ulrich Chomche if he's there at 53. He's not going to be NBA ready for a couple years, but he can learn the game in Iowa. He only played in 3 games last year (so grain of salt), but he averaged 13 PPG, 9 RPG, 3 BPG and he shot 38% on SEVEN 3PA/Game and 75% from the line. Ulrich Chomche - NBA Academy, Cameroon 6'10.3, 7'4 wingspan, 232 pounds. 18.4 years old. Shades of Serge Ibaka A raw center with a massive ceiling who is the youngest prospect in this class. PLUSES Superb upside as an interior defender. He’s a long-armed athlete with excellent leaping ability, giving him amazing shot-blocking potential. And though he needs his frame to mature, he battles hard on post-ups. Tremendous mobility moving laterally with the long-term potential to switch across positions and effectively defend in any pick-and-roll scheme. Selfless big man who will set screens, roll hard, and facilitate by keeping the ball moving. He rebounds, boxes out, and runs the floor. He does what he’s asked to do in his limited role. Flashes the ability to handle the ball in face-up situations. If he develops a jumper, his quick first step and fluidity could make him a threat on the attack. MINUSES Extremely raw defender who operates off instinct and covers up positional mistakes with his athleticism. To thrive at the next level, he’ll have to learn how to read situations, be in the right spot, and stay on his feet. He’s clearly still learning the game. He sets way too many moving screens, and even as an at-rim finisher, he doesn’t try to go for dunks nearly enough for a player with his traits. https://nbadraft.theringer.com/
