Summary:
Jessie Govan is a big-bodied center that may be able to excel as a scorer at the next level. His ability to score from all over the floor has NBA scouts and teams intrigued, but he will need to improve his rebounding, and he also has to stay away from foul trouble.
If he can show teams that he can excel when the pace of the game really picks up, that could really help his draft stock. Right now, he may end up being a potential second round pick in the upcoming draft.
