Long, developmental SMU forward with limited but intriguing size
Kontopoulos was a low-usage freshman at SMU, appearing in 19 games in 2016-17 and scoring 8 points in 34 total minutes, so his on-court production was minimal but his 6-foot-9 frame gave him developmental upside as a frontcourt piece.[4][7] He looks like a fit for teams prioritizing size, patience, and long-term upside over immediate stats, though there is not enough public evidence here to project standout shot creation, rebounding dominance, or a major role yet.[4][7]
