Two-way Michigan guard with pro-level burst and late-season breakout
In his 2023 Michigan season, Kobe Bufkin surged into a true difference-maker, earning Third-team All-Big Ten honors after a late-year run that showed real shot creation, toughness, and defensive activity. His best calling cards are pace, handle, and a crafty left-handed attack that lets him get downhill and pressure the rim, plus enough length and competitiveness to make him disruptive on both ends. He also has a proven climb-the-ladder profile: once he got rolling, the production followed. If you want a guard who can grow into a high-motor, modern two-way fit, he’s exactly the kind of name to care about.
