Scouting Report

A three-star prospect at Sierra Canyon (Calif.), Koloko played on a loaded state championship team that included Kenyon Martin Jr. (Houston Rockets), Scotty Pippen Jr. (Vanderbilt) and Casius Stanley (Duke).
Played soccer in his native Cameroon before picking up basketball at age 15 after his family moved to Southern California.
The 6-11, 230-pound center took huge strides in each of his three seasons at Arizona, averaging 12.6 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.8 blocks this past season.
Strengths: Protecting the rim is his primary asset, a skill that's facilitated by his 7-5 wingspan. Light on his feet and bouncy. Named Pac 12 defensive player of the year. Good fundamentally-sound rebounder., quick to the ball. Diligent at both ends of the floor with an unwavering intensity. Hard to gauge his upside. His age (22) suggests there's not a high ceiling. But considering how far he's come during his college career, there's reason to believe he's a late bloomer with more room for growth. As a freshman, averaged just 2.3 points and 2.4 rebounds in 8.3 minutes per game. Figures to go early in the second round.
Weaknesses: Struggles with ball-handling but has become adept at passing to the open man when he gets double-teamed upon receiving an entry pass. Limited offensive repertoire, depending heavily on dunks and rim runs. Not much of a threat in the mid-range. Does shoot free throws well however, making 73.5% this past season, suggesting he can develop a reliable shot even without much natural touch. Needs more strength. Has plenty of straight-line speed but lacks lateral quickness, a shortfall that's especially evident on perimeter switches. Right-hand dominant.
