2023 Draft Profile - Rayan Rupert

Jonathan Wasserman - Bleacher Report - June 21st: "Rayan Rupert will draw first-round looks just based off the appeal to long wings (7-foot-2 wingspan) with shot-making potential. However, limited production in the NBL has also led to low confidence levels in scouts."

Kyle Irving - Sporting News - June 21st: "The 6-7 forward is a versatile defender with a reported 7-3 wingspan, and he has shown some flashes as a shooter, shot creator and passer on offense."

Gary Parrish - CBS Sports - June 20th: "Rupert remains unreliable offensively and very much a project. But he's a wing with a 7-3 wingspan who has all the prerequisites to be a great perimeter defender if his shooting comes around enough to make him playable at the NBA level."

NBA Draft Room - May 16th: "A super long and versatile wing with a lot of upside, especially on the defensive end."

John Fanta - Fox Sports - May 12: "He's a high-level defender with great feel, tons of athleticism, but his shot and playmaking ability on the offensive end will have him spending time in the G League. At 19, there's plenty of upside but he has to be a part of an organization that's okay with being patient."

Tyler Byrum and Chase Hughes - NBC Sports - May 8th: "With a wingspan of 7-foot-3 and turning 19 years old just weeks before the draft, who wouldn't want to take a look? His limited action looked promising as a potential wing in the NBA."

Jonathan Wasserman - Bleacher Report - Jan. 5th: "After missing two months, Rupert returned to score 14 points with two threes on Wednesday, an encouraging sign for a projected three-and-D wing whom international scouts have been waiting to fully assess."
