Rakeem Christmas – 6’9, 226 lbs. Power Forward/Center (Syraucse, Sr.)
Strengths: A late developer coming off of a monster senior campaign. Over a seven-foot wingspan. Rebounding and shotblocking. Mobile. Efficient.
Weaknesses: Lacks the versatility of a power forward, his most ideal position at the next level. Struggles with foul trouble and taking care of the ball at times. Already 23 years old.
