We continue our series examining Toronto Raptors potential draft picks with a player I normally wouldn’t bother to write about. One of my rules is to look for players who display improvement. Skal Labissiere, a Haitian-born power forward at Kentucky, has fallen off a cliff in scouts’ minds during this, his first, and probably only, college season.
You might reasonably ask why I’m writing a post, and asking you to read, about a fellow who’s had a disastrous year. Skal doesn’t turn 20 years old until next week. He’s seven feet tall, with a 7’2″ wingspan. He’s an international player trying to fit into KU coach John Calipari’s system, and being punished with the bench because he hasn’t.
