Big, Efficient, and Built for the Paint
In the 2007-08 season at Ohio State, Kosta Koufos averaged 14.4 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks in 37 games, then finished by powering the Buckeyes’ NIT title run and earning tournament MVP honors[9][1]. His calling card was straightforward: a 7-foot frame, efficient scoring inside, shot-blocking, and enough skill to stretch to a solid 34.9% from three as a freshman[1]. The fit question is easy — if a team wants a true interior anchor with size, rim protection, and late-season poise, he’s a strong add; if it wants perimeter mobility, that’s not his lane[1][9].
