Summary:
Hannes Steinbach is an energetic combo forward that played professionally overseas in Germany before later enrolling to play at Washington. He is a tremendous rebounder that excels at making hustle plays on both ends of the floor, but he’ll need to be a more consistent shooter in games, and he’ll need to add more muscle to his frame to be able to handle stronger opponents and contact on a consistent basis. Currently, he projects to go in the mid to late first round range for the 2026 draft.
