Miikka Muurinen

Draft Notes

Muurinen is a highly skilled and mobile big man from Finland who is one of the most athletic prospects in his class and looks like a future NBA player.

He’s a lengthy 6-10 or 6-11 forward who is a talented offensive player who can dribble, pass and shoot the ball.

He has a solid but skinny build in a 6-10 frame and has very good quickness and mobility for a player his size.

Runs the floor well and is overall a smooth athlete.

Has a nice face-up game and can break defenders down with the dribble and get into the lane, or find his mid range jumper.

Has good hops and is a powerful dunker. Is always a threat on backdoor lobs and put-backs.
