2022 Rankings were finalized on 6/23/22.

Height: 6-9

College: Duke
Classification: Fifth-Year Senior

Projected Draft Range: Likely Undrafted

Pros:

Adequate low post scorer

Solid shot blocker
Above average athlete
Very good strength

Cons:

Must improve his face-up game
Must extend his shooting range

Needs to improve his playmaking skills
Extreme low volume offensive player

Not an elite athlete

Summary:

Theo John is a strong, physical big man that recently played at Marquette before transferring to Duke.  He is a high-motor player that will set good screens and make hustle plays to help his team on both ends of the floor.  He will need to expand his skill set offensively, and he rarely looks to score the basketball, but his ability to make team plays could enable him to compete for a roster spot in the NBA someday.
