Long, versatile Maryland forward with intriguing size — but production never matched the promise
In the 2009-10 season at Maryland, Jin Soo Choi averaged 0.8 points, 1.1 rebounds and 4.9 minutes per game, so the box score barely hinted at his appeal[2][4][8]. His best calling card was NBA-style size for a wing/forward at 6-8, 195, plus the ability to slide between small forward, power forward and even spot center minutes[1][5]. The big catch: the scoring efficiency was rough, and his college run ended early, so he profiles more as a historical curiosity and size-and-upside flyer than a proven impact fit[4][11].
