Long, athletic Tulsa forward with upside from his rim-running, shot-blocking base
Baruti’s Tulsa profile points to a developmental frontcourt piece whose value is built on size, athleticism, and effort more than box-score volume; in his freshman season (2010-11) he appeared in 13 games, averaging 6.7 minutes, with 9 points and 18 rebounds. Tulsa’s bio and earlier recruiting coverage describe him as big, strong, extremely athletic, and a strong shot-blocker—traits that suggest he fits best as a high-motor defender/rebounder who can change the game with energy plays rather than isolation scoring.
