2019 Draft Profile - Charles Bassey

Jeremy Woo - SI - Apr. 23rd: "He plays hard and knows his bread is buttered in the paint and around the rim, and showed a solid capacity for blocking shots ... Still, it’s hard not to watch him and come away a bit concerned, noting his heavy build and gait, his max-effort style, and how hard he has to work for what he gets. "

Jonathan Wasserman - Bleacher Report - Oct. 12th: "At 6'11", 234 pounds, Bassey will draw looks for his tools and physical presence around the basket. He's not the new-school center trending in today's NBA, but he still comes off as a potential pro with the body and athleticism to finish, rebound and block shots."

NBA Draft Room - Oct. 4th: "He's a physical specimen who has all the tools to become a force on the court and he's got a lot of upside to grow into to. He lays a versatile game, has great mobility and isn't afraid to do the dirty work."

Jeremy Woo - Sports Illustrated - June 27th: "His skill set has begun to expand a bit, and he has some shooting touch, but Bassey is probably best off focusing on banging in the paint and showcasing his rim-running skills next season. In a draft that looks thin on bigs, he stands to benefit."

Tristan Freeman - Busting Brakets - June 27th: "Bassey will be different for the Hilltoppers, as his game much more easily translates to the NBA. He’ll dominate Conference USA and solidify himself as a mid-first rounder."
