Skilled, versatile big with real offensive upside
Filipowski’s calling card is a rare blend of size, skill and passing for a frontcourt player, which is why he can fit as a modern stretch-big or secondary creator. In the 2025-26 NBA season, he has averaged 11.4 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists for Utah, showing that his game translates beyond college and that he can impact possessions in multiple ways.[5][7] Reports also note a strong late-2024-25 finish and a dominant Summer League run, reinforcing his growth, competitiveness and confidence.[9] The main caution is that he is more finesse than bruiser, so fit is best with lineups that value skill over pure rim protection.[9][11]
