2024 Draft Profile - Yves Missi

Kevin O'Connor - The Ringer - June 17th: "Relentless rebounder posting a prolific offensive rebounding percentage for a potential first-round prospect. On defense, he consistently boxes out despite having the inherent athleticism to sky over defenders."

NBA Draft Room - June 16th: "His best basketball is far ahead of him and he’s just scratching the surface of how good he can be. He’s getting more comfortable with the ball in his hands and showed impressive flashes on the offensive end during his freshman season."

Jonathan Givony - ESPN - June 7th: "Missi is hoping to entice lottery teams in workouts with his elite physical tools, standing 7 feet with a 9-1½ standing reach and impressive mobility and explosiveness. Every team in the range from No. 9 to 20 wants to gauge his skill level and readiness for helping a team in the short term."

Sam Vecenie - The Athletic - June 5th: "As a 7-footer with a 7-5 wingspan, Missi might have the best frame of any low-usage center prospect in the class. He’s a terrific athlete who moves his feet fluidly in space, given his size, and can sky for impressive lob finishes in transition and from the dunker spot."

Colin Ward-Henninger - CBS Sports - June 4th: "Front office execs must love players like Missi, who have virtually no mystery to their game. He's a rim-runner and shot-blocker who wasn't foolish enough to even attempt a 3-pointer in his only season at Baylor."

Zach Buckley - Bleacher Report - June 4th: "… he should be an early contributor as a rim-runner who adds both paint protection and enough fluidity to defend pick-and-rolls."

Jonathan Wasserman - Bleacher Report - May 30th: "Yves Missi measured well at nearly 6'11" in socks with a 7'2" wingspan. He should start to draw mid-to-late first-round interest from teams that covet his defensive upside as a rim protector and his ability to move his feet around the perimeter and recover in pick-and-roll coverage."
