Isaiah Armwood — PF, 6-9, 210
Senior, 23 years old
Season: 15 PPG, 9.7 RPG, 2.7 BPG
Game: 20 points, 8 rebounds, 3 blocks
Outlook: Armwood can score at close range, but lacks the shooting skills to stretch the defense. A 6-8 forward who is only effective in the paint, and who is already 23 years old, I wonder if Armwood has already realized his ceiling.

Armwood is limited offensively. He’s not assertive, can’t really create for himself, and although he has the size and slender frame to be a stretch-forward, he’s not a great jump shooter. Nearly 75 percent of his shot attempts last season were in the post, and when he did step out to shoot, his .75 points per possession on jump shots ranked in the bottom 70th percent nationally.
Armwood is neither strong nor skilled enough to be a post presence on the NBA level. I don’t see the NBA in his immediate future, if at all.
