Summary:
Last year, Isaac Humphries enrolled early to one of the best teams in the country and was a contributor in his freshman season for the Kentucky Wildcats.
Humphries is a fairly mobile big man that can run the floor, and he can help grab rebounds and blocks to help his team. He will need to be more of a consistent performer on offense, but an increased role and assertiveness on that end could help him towards doing so.
Right now, he may be a borderline second round prospect. He may not be ready to contribute to a team right away in the NBA yet, but teams will keep a close eye on him, especially if he goes on to have a breakout year sometime down the road.
