Anigbogu is all about the upside. If a team reaches for him it because of what he might become. Presently, he is a shot blocker and offensive rebounder that has a prototype NBA body. He provides a defensive presence due to his quickness combined with a 9'2.5" standing reach (same Andrew Bogut and Emeka Okafor). ...Offensively, Anigbogu is really raw. He had just six assists (with four times as many turnovers) as a UCLA freshman. He also struggles at the free throw line, connecting on just 53.5%. So what IS good about his game? He has a combo of size, and explosiveness that separate him from mere mortals. He only played 13 minutes per game at UCLA. His four rebounds per game in that short 13 minute per game span give you an indication of how fierce he is on the glass. ...Anigbogu's max. vert. was measured at 32.5" (same as JaVale McGee and Byron Mullins). ...We expect him to be selected in the second half of the first round. As far as he has to go, we saw some special plays from Anigbogu that lead us to believe there is a point in the 2017 NBA Draft where his upside is too much to pass up.

Good advice: In 2010, the 28th pick in the NBA Draft was Greivis Vasquez. We advised, "Draft Hassan Whiteside."
