Summary:
Ivan Rabb is a talented big man that has the skills to become a solid, two-way player in the NBA.
He is a very athletic basketball player that can really rebound the basketball, and Rabb can knock down jumpers and also score in the post. But he will need to be more reliable at creating his own shot, and he will have to improve his position defense. Right now, he may project to be a mid first round pick in 2017.
