Corbin Kaufusi

Height  6’10” Weight  283
Speed  4 Block  8
Power  10 Pass  3
3PT  1 Clutch  4
Steal  2 FT%  .595
Dunk  8 Tackles  31

A lot of what Corbin will bring to this team remains a bit in question. Thanks to his time at defensive end, he is much heavier than he was a year prior. Coach Rose lists him currently at a whopping 283 pounds, up from a rough 238 last season. That is no small jump when you switch two digits. Add to that that “football shape” and “basketball shape” definitely have their differences.

But you can expect some things to be the same. Corbin is a freakish athlete, powerful and motivated. He has a great leap, lots of power, and will be just as open to dunk as Childs has been on a TJ dish.

Don’t forget that Corbin is also the most experienced big man on the team. He won’t be the offensive threat of Childs or Mika, but defensively in the post, he just might be even more imposing. He a lot of human, and might be vital in picking up defensive minutes against the Przemek Karnowskis of conference play.
