Foster, Michael  G-League Ignite 6'9" 236 C 1/16/03

Foster Jr. is a 19 year-old with a grown man's NBA Body. He can score near the hoop or as a face-up shooter. He averaged 15.6 points, 9.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.8 blocked shots per game in his rookie year in the G-League playing for the Ignite. While his deep shooting percentage (20%) was not good, his shot doesn't look broken. Evidence of that is his 76.4% free throw percentage. He did have more turnovers than assists but not by an egregious number (56 assists, 65 turnovers). Foster was a McDonald's All-American in 2021. He tested as an average to below-average athlete at the NBA Draft Combine. 32.5" max. vert. His lane agility times were in the slowest 22% among players tested.  ...Foster's strength and skill should make for a nice development package. He seems to embrace physical play which will serve him well. We expect him to be drafted late in round two. 

 

Our best advice: in 2016, the 52nd pick was Joel Bolomboy. We advised, "draft Gary Payton II."
