Donavan Short is a big, local-name pickup with upside as a rim-running center
In the 2022 season, Donavan Short arrived at Green Bay as a 6-foot-10 center from Denmark, Wis., and was singled out as the No. 9 player in Wisconsin’s class, which tells you the Phoenix saw real ceiling, not just size. He’s appealing because he brings hometown familiarity, frontcourt length, and the kind of explosive finishing that can change a game in a blink—one highlight dunk even landed on SportsCenter’s Top Ten. He’s a fit if you want a developmental big with energy and upside, though his value is more about projection and interior presence than polished, high-volume production.
