2013 NBA Draft Scouting Report: Kenny Kadji


Position: Power Forward

Size: 6-10, 242

School: Miami, Senior


Strengths:
  • Inside/outside threat
  • Three-point range
  • Mid-range jumper
  • Effective in pick-
  • and-pop situations
  • Athletic finisher around the hoop
  • Underrated explosiveness at the rim
  • Good touch near the basket
  • Handles the ball well for his size
  • Can pull the ball on the deck and get to the basket
  • Length




  • Weaknesses:
  • Age (will be 25 by draft night)
  • Aggressiveness on the glass
  • Post-up game needs fine tuning
  • Too often settles for being a jump shooter


  • Summary: Because of injuries and bouncing around at the college level, Kadji is already a veteran compared to most NBA prospects, which means he doesn’t have a ton of upside. With that being said, he can be a stretch four at the next level due to his ability to knock down shots and space the floor. He is a solid second-round prospect who, on the right team, could become a role player.

    Player Comparison: Anthony Tolliver. Though Kadji has a couple of inches on Tolliver, the two are similar with their ability to knock down outside shots. Tolliver has scraped by to be a decent reserve at the NBA level and that should be the case for Kadji as well. Becoming more of a threat as a rebounder should help the former Hurricane stick around the NBA.
