KOBE BUFKIN (ATL)
UNDERDOG
NBA ROLE: (RAW) DYNAMIC SHOT-CREATOR
Michigan’s Kobe Bufkin: lefty scoring prospect is a treat to watch once he heats it up; 6’4, plays like a big guard: Bufkin can fade between the lines, but uses his to shoot over defenders or hunt a basket in the lane; converted to a pure point or better suited as a combo guard in ATL? Bufkin must embrace the grind of weathering inconsistent playing time, and coming in for simple, effective minutes (as a role player) until he fully blossoms as a scorer & playmaker; crafty pull-up scorer: Bufkin’s got a really light touch on Js, even out to the 3-pt. line; final version of his game could look spectacular; best case in 2025: Kobe’s a primary rotation player who averages 8-10 points
