The redshirt sophomore forward recently declared for the NBA Draft, and has a long, successful career ahead of him.
After two national championships in three years, forward Alex Karaban has really accomplished all that can be accomplished in college basketball , playing a pivotal role not just in both.
While he had similar efficiency numbers in each season, he made very legitimate improvements from his freshman to his sophomore season – for example, he increased his rebounding from 4.5 per game to 5.1 per game, his stocks from 1.2 to 1.7, his points per game from 9.3 to 13.3, and lowered both his personal foul count and turnover count.
Whether he’s able to defend on the perimeter or not in the NBA is still a bit of a question, because he’s not an extremely athletic guy as far as explosiveness, speed, and agility go. This is opposed to players that are “projects,” who are a bit more raw but possess, at least at the NBA level, high-level athleticism. Karaban is no project, and is in fact the type of rookie to make an impact immediately as a rotational player.
