Elite rim protecter and awesome around the basket. Good touch and can stretch the floor a bit. Definitely a little slow and can look a little awkward at times but man amongst boys in college. Zach Edey's success will help him. Luke Kornet.

Reigning 3-time Big East DPOY. That says enough about his rim protecting. He scores well inside and has good coordination for a guy his size.
NBA Comp: If he can score from outside the lane more, he reminds me of Holmgren.

#3
RANK
++Game vs. St. Johns:++ Slow shot, shooters bounce on 3 slightly contested Likes to play drop in PNR Good seal on man and hands to finish with dunk Has improved 3P% every year of his career Good boxout Slow to contest mid-range pull-ups; lazy closeouts (maybe coached not to contest his matchup on 3's). Could make himself an option on offense more often Very slow; moves like molasses; limits his ability as a rim runner at the next level; combined with his play-style in the half-court, concerns me Good block on dunk with good verticality Sets strong screens Disappears at times on the offensive end Another good on-ball block Extreme length that makes him a decent lob threat Not very active on the offensive glass given his physical tools Old, not much potential for development Suffered foot injury; extremely concerning for a big man Missed big rebound off free throw due to not boxing out

Kalkbrenner is a throwback 7-footer who owns the paint, swatting shots with his giant wingspan and dunking everything in sight. It’s a bit strange he isn’t a better rebounder. But as a super senior, he’s also developed some sneaky passing and shooting skills that hint at higher upside.
Pros:
Interior scoring
Connective passing
Shooting upside
Rim protection
Cons:
Shot creation
Rebounding
Mobility
Comparisons: Jakob Poeltl, Walker Kessler
