2016 NBA Mock Draft: High schooler Thon Maker to Toronto

player. 169. <p>Washington’s Marquese Chriss is the kind of unpolished, high-upside big man who will draw the attention of teams in the top 10 and could go earlier than this should a team decide to take a risk on him. At 6-9 with a 7-0 wingspan and 8-9 standing reach, Chriss has the size to play power forward at the next level. What intrigues analysts the most, though, is his explosive athleticism and quickness.</p> <p>Chriss averaged 22.1 points per 40 minutes as a freshman. He has a good looking three-point shot and converted 35 percent of his 60 attempts this season. That floor spacing ability is a trait that Houston general manger Daryl Morey will value in a power forward prospect. Chriss also generated buckets on the offensive glass, where his 9.8 offensive rebound rate ranked 267th in Division I. On defense, Chriss functioned well as a secondary shot blocker next to Malik Dime, averaging 2.6 blocks per 40 minutes.</p> <p>In a draft that features very few surefire prospects, Chriss is a worthwhile risk. There are very few big men in the draft with the kind of upside that the Washington freshman offers.</p> <p><em>To learn more about Marquese Chriss, <a href=. PF. Washington. Marquese Chriss. 13
