Alex Karaban

Draft Notes

A big 6-8 combo forward with a great shooting touch who hunts his shot on the perimeter. Has great floor-spacing ability, which sets up his dribble-drive game.

Has good strength and decent size but lacks high end athleticism.

A good passer who keeps the ball moving. Knows his role and projects as a good off the ball player at the NBA level.
