Hukporti is a physical specimen with NBA size and athletic ability. His movement skills are impressive for nearly 7 feet, 250 lbs and he passes the eyeball test. Has some growing up to do and will have to show that he can lock in and put in the work to be great.
He projects as a role player early in his career and will have to earn some minutes with his rebounding, interior defense, and running the floor but he's got some offensive talent as well and should develop into more of a scoring threat some years down the line.
His ability to get off the ground at his size is impressive. He's a shot-blocking force who reacts well and has a quick first jump.
He scores most of his points right around the basket, either on dunks or short lefty hooks and layups but is becoming a more capable outside shooter, showing good mechanics.

International center, good size, good athleticism, not many skills to entice you. I give him credit for being productive in a real professional league at 21. Seems like he's willing to do the dirty work and play without ego
RANK
