Yohan Traore

Draft Notes

Yohan is a rising PF/C from France who is making a name for himself in the U.S. He’s a fundamentally sound big who plays a traditional big man role, mixing up in the paint and scoring on the low block, while also showing some perimeter skills.

He’s got decent size and a solid frame but is more of a low center of gravity player and isn’t the most twitchy athlete.

Being able to stretch the floor and hit the 3 ball will be key for his success at the highest levels of play.
