ZEKE NNAJI (DEN)
UNDERDOG
NBA ROLE: (RAW) ALL-AROUND PIVOT
Zeke Nnaji: intriguing big w/ three-level scoring potential - likes to post, face up & shoot; moves very well, keeps himself open for opportunities post-screening; uncanny shot release for his position - likes quick, short jumpers, comfortable in between the lines (won’t hesitate from midrange if there’s any space); operates well in the post, especially for a player w/ his experience - patient, able to convert w/ short hooks; needs to further develop outside shot, focus in on straightaway & corner triples; pretty decent ball skills, handles & runs the floor well in transition; defined by efficiency?; solid defender, needs to find an early niche to earn PT; nice prospect in Denver* - Nnaji will continue to improve as playing time comes, takes advantage of limited minutes in Coach Malone’s rotation
*won championship in 2023, has a chance to play a larger role in the rotation in 2024
SIGNATURE! COMING SOON.
