Long, low-usage Memphis forward still flashing rebounding upside
Arop Arop is a 6-foot-11 Memphis forward whose current role is limited, but his size and rebounding give him a clear developmental lane if a staff wants a project big with length and defensive upside.[8][7][11] In the 2025-26 season, he has produced modest numbers overall, with roughly 0.7 points and 0.7 rebounds per game, while CBS lists his best single-game rebound total at 4 and ESPN shows a season-high 7 points and 7 rebounds in one outing.[7][11][4][1] His fit is best for a team that can be patient, value rim-size, and develop a skinny, high-upside frontcourt piece rather than expect immediate scoring impact.[8][7]
