Prince Aligbe

Draft Notes

Aligbe is one of the most dynamic athletes at the high school level. He’s gotten tons of exposure thanks to playing alongside Chet Holmgren but he’s a big time talent in his own right.

With a NBA ready body and supreme athleticism Aligbe has all the tools to develop into a big time player who impacts both ends of the floor. At this point in his development he’s a standout defender and a nightmare who can outrun and overpower opponents. He’s a good rebounder and loves to crash the offensive glass. He also moves well without the ball and is a good cutter who knows how to find space.

His offensive package is a work in progress but he’s shown a lot of development as a shooter and is on a good trajectory. Look for Prince Aligbe to become more of a household name next season and beyond. The sky is the limit for how good he can become.
