Kofi seems to be able play the bigs clean, but pick up tricky tack stuff on the perimeter. If the data backs that up I imagine teams will try to pull him out there more being so dominant inside. Hope he’s prepared for it.
Working under the following 2 assumptions
1. The only way a team should be able to draw Kofi away from the basket on the defensive end is if the opposing team's center has an effective 3 point shot
2. Any Big that's shooting below 33% from 3 is pushing the team's overall pts per possession below 1.0 whenever they shoot from beyond the arc so you may as well just let them shoot that non-sense.
The following is the primary Big for each B10 team that Kofi would be guarding and their 3pt% (shots made / taken if relevant). Flagging the ones that need to be guarded on the perimeter.
Indiana: 6'-9" Trayce Jackson-Davis 0% / 6'-11" Joey Brunk 0% / 6'-8" Race Thompson 33.3% (1/3)
Iowa: 6'-11"
Luka Garza 43.5% (10/23) / 6'-11" Jack Nunge 21.4% / 6'-10" Ryan Kriener 20%
Maryland: 6'-10" Jalen Smith 29.2%
Michigan: 7'-1" Jon Teske 28.0%
Michigan State: 6'-8" Xavier Tillman 23.5%
Minnesota: 6'-10"
Daniel Oturu 38.5% (5/13) / 6'-9"
Alihan Demir 42.9% (6/14)
Nebraska: 6'-9" Yvan Ouedraogo 0% / 6'-8" Kevin Cross 28.6% / 6'-8" Matej Kavas 31%
Northwestern: 6'-10" Ryan Young 0% / 6'-10" Pete Nance 32.4% (12/37)
an Ohio State: 6'-9"
Kaleb Wesson 44.8% (13/29) / 6'-8" Kyle Young 33.3% (1/3) /
Penn State: 6'-9" Mike Watkins 0% / 6'-9" John Harrar 0%
Purdue: 7'-3"
Matt Haarms 38.5% (5/13)
Rutgers: 6'-10" Myles Johnson 0%
Wisconsin: 6'-11"
Nate Reuvers 30.3% (10/33)
was 38.1% (32/84) last season
Ohio State, Purdue, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota may try to stretch Kofi but we should be able to have Kofi sag off the rest.
