Rye, a big man out of Worcester Academy in Massachusetts, checks in at #7 among the centers and #43 overall. Rye is one of the more intriguing long-term prospects in this class as he combines good positional size with plus mobility and the ability to score the basketball at all three levels. He does a nice job of knocking down shots in catch and shoot situations and, as an explosive finisher around the rim, provides a threat to hard roll or pop out of ball screens. On the other end of the floor, he profiles as a switchable defender that can guard in space while also operating as a rim protector in the paint.
