The NBA Is Getting Bigger: Is That Good News for Motiejus Krivas?
from NBA Draft Junkies Podcast · host James Barlowe
Motiejus Krivas has the size of an old-school center, but there may be more skill to his game than his numbers suggest.The 7'2", 260-pound Arizona big man averaged roughly 10 points, eight rebounds and two blocks in only 25 minutes per game last season. But Rafael believes those numbers don't fully capture Krivas' talent—and thinks he has the ability to make a significant leap and establish himself as one of the most dominant interior forces in college basketball.On NBA Draft Junkies Live, Rafael and James break down Krivas' offensive skill, interior presence and NBA projection while tackling a bigger question surrounding today's league: As NBA teams begin prioritizing size again, is there once again a place for massive, traditional centers—and if so, how high should you draft one?#MotiejusKrivas #ArizonaBasketball #ArizonaWildcats #BearDown #2027NBADraft #NBADraft #NBADraft2027 #NBADraftJunkies #NBADraftProspects #NBAScouting #NBAProspects #DraftProspects #CollegeBasketball #CollegeHoops #Big12Basketball #BasketballScouting #NBADraftAnalysis #NBADraftStock #Center #BigMen #ArizonaHoops
