Summary:

Tosan Evbuomwan is a very productive, stat stuffing forward that helped lead Princeton to get to the 2023 NCAA Tournament, and he helped his team reel off surprising wins over Arizona and Missouri. He’s a skilled playmaker out of the post and off the dribble, and his court sense allows him to get crafty scores and assists on offense.

He averaged roughly 15 points, 6 rebounds, and almost 5 assists per game this season, which is especially intriguing since he’s a 6-8 forward, and has tallied far more assists than the average player his size this year. He is a skilled, ball-handling playmaker that had a very good 2023 NCAA Tournament, and he could end up being a second round pick in the 2023 draft.
