Karim Lopez

Draft Notes

Karim is a long, mobile wing with great basketball instincts. He’s a smooth operator on the court and makes the game look easy.

Really stands out on the defensive end with his size, length and instincts. Can guard up and down the line up and really impacts the game on defense.

Has a smooth offensive game with good handles. An impressive outside shooter who can initiate the offense and get his shot.

The best prospect to ever come out of Mexico.
