2025 NBA Draft scouting report: Asa Newell

As a one-and-done prospect, Georgia’s Asa Newell has all of the tools to succeed at the next level, he just has to continue to develop. At 6’11, Newell played mostly center in college, but with his size and frame, there’s a chance that he could play both the 4 and 5 in the NBA depending on how his skillset grows.

Newell is an uber athletic big, and that helps in the paint when he’s getting thrown lobs or trying to go up for a rebound. He averaged 15.3 points per game, and most of those came from in the paint, where, outside of catching lob passes, he has a nice touch around the rim that could be hard to stop.
