Polish: Kepnang is the center you’re going to give the ball and ask to score on every play. He’s a bit raw offensively, but has shown strides of improvement this season. He has good hands and he’s aggressive when it’s time to finish the play.
Bottom Line: Kepnang fills a role as an elite rim-protector and solid finisher in the paint. He stays in his lane but shows flashes of potential as a capable producer in the paint.
