2021 Draft Profile - Usman Garuba

Kyle Boone CBS Sports - June 21st: "Garuba is a smidge undersized as an NBA center but categorized as a "big" and looking at his production overseas, there's a lot to like about his NBA upside, particularly as a defender."

Chad Ford - NBA Big Board - June 18: "Garuba shows promise as a high-motor, athletic big who can rebound and defend. He has a chance to be the best defensive big man in this draft."

NBA Draft Room - June 18th: "The high energy defender and rebounder who has an emerging offensive game."

Ricky O'Donnell SB Nation - June 17: "Garuba is one of the best defensive prospects in this class as a burly forward who is light on his feet and can stick with a variety of different types of players."

Tyler Byrum and Chase Hughes NBC Sports - June 14: "Offensive limitations are preventing Garuba from getting into the lottery range. Most of his scoring comes from dunks and buckets around the rim. He has shown promise from establishing a shot, but not nearly enough."

Kevin O'Connor The Ringer - June: "Switchable defender with the bulk to handle bigger players and the agility to match up against quicker wings and even guards. He’s aware and does a good job of using his hands to shut passing windows."

Jonathan Givony ESPN - May 25: "Garuba, one of the most intense and versatile defenders in this draft class."
