Jake LaRavia has been one of the top rising prospects in this year’s draft and is currently ranked No. 28 overall in our HoopsHype LIVE aggregate mock draft.
After playing two seasons at Indiana State, LaRavia transferred to Wake Forest and had an efficient all-around season leading to an All-ACC Second Team selection. LaRavia’s versatility as a shooter (56 percent from the field and 38.4 percent from three-point range), rebounding (6.6 boards per game), passing (3.7 assists per game), and defense (1.7 steals and 1.0 blocks per game) have intrigued NBA talent evaluators.
“LaRavia knows how to play and can make plays for himself or teammates,” an NBA executive told HoopsHype. “He’s a good athlete that is a hybrid forward and eventually can be a stretch forward.”
