Prospect Profile
A German center with the skillset to have success as a modern big, Grunloh has really made a name for himself. He has steadily improved the past few seasons and is now one of the more interesting international prospects in this upcoming class.
The offensive upside is very intriguing with Grunloh, given the skill he has with the ball in his hands. He can score on the move, is comfortable putting the ball on the deck and is also a solid positional passer. Furthermore, he is a good play finisher who has proven to be effective as a screener in pick-and-roll action which is important to NBA teams. Grunloh can roll and finish lobs on the roll, but also can pop and has a reliable 3-point shot. Even when he isn’t scoring, Grunloh compliments any offense and finds ways to impact winning. He plays within himself and is a very smart player.
With that in mind, Grunloh is a bit undersized for a center and isn’t the strongest or most athletic. As such, the defensive side of the ball will be something NBA teams really take a look at. If he can get stronger and improve his defensive footwork, there’s reason to believe he can become more reliable on that end moving forward.
