Kosta Koufos is 7’1, 255 pounds and will be a freshman at Ohio State. He has a 7’4 wingspan and he has developed some aggressiveness in his game.
He has solid post moves and he plays well around the basket. He has good hands and he does a good job passing from the post. He likes to put the ball on the floor and he also likes to keep constant movement on the floor. Kosta has a good mid range jumper and also a nice three point shot. He likes to shoot the turnaround jumper. He has developed into a leader and a go to player. He has good character and he is very smart. Kosta has good defensive skills, especially when it comes getting his position down low.
Kosta lacks foot speed and athleticism. He is not a very good shot blocker, and he needs to improve his rebounding skills. He still needs to learn to fight through contact. He needs to improve his finishing at the basket after contact. Kosta has said if he has a good freshman year, he would consider a jump to the NBA. I think he should be a two to four year college player, in order to develop into a solid NBA big man and reach his potential. He reminds me of Andrew Bogut.
