Apr 6, 2015; Indianapolis, IN, USA; Wisconsin Badgers forward Frank Kaminsky (44) dribbles defended by Duke Blue Devils center Jahlil Okafor (15) in the first half of the 2015 NCAA Men

Frank Kaminsky, PF, Wisconsin

Measures: 7-foot-0, 242 pounds (pro day measures not available)

Strengths

  • Natural shooter
  • Effective in pick-and-pop situations
  • Underrated with his back to the basket and in the paint
  • Good footwork
  • Solid passer for a big man

Weaknesses

  • Average athlete
  • Limited on defense
  • Can he be as good in the paint in the NBA?

Pro projection: Frank Kaminsky is your prototypical stretch-4/5. He can play both big positions and be instrumental in an inside-out offensive attack in the mold of Chris Bosh or Kelly Olynyk. However, Kaminsky is a limited athlete with a ceiling defensively. A team who drafts him will need to make sure they have solid rim protection to pair with him.
