Figueroa, a big man out of the Brooks School in Massachusetts, checks in at #9 among the centers and #56 overall. Figueroa is another prospect that intrigues with his long-term potential, as the 6’8″ big man plays with a nice combination of physicality and feel for the game. He’s still got a long way to go in his development, but already does a nice job of playing with physicality in the paint on both ends of the floor. He’s another prospect that has plus length and the ability to move well in space, which allows him to play a variety of defensive coverages against ball screens. He’s definitely a prospect to track over the next two years.

+10 (#50 to #40)

Figueroa, a big man out of the Brooks School, was a stock riser after a strong summer playing for Above The Rim Elite. The 6’8″ big man has some offensive versatility, showing the ability to score over either shoulder in the paint, while also being able to step out to the three point line and knock down shots. On top of that, he runs the floor hard in transition and is capable of operating as a roller or pop guy out of screening actions. Defensively, he rebounds it at a high rate and is a budding rim protector.

Figueroa, a talented big out of the Brooks School in Massachusetts, makes his first appearance in the rankings at #51. At 6’8″ with a wide base and strong shoulder, Figueroa has a frame that some ’26’s would be envious of. With his size, he’s able to make a ton of noise in the paint, on both ends of the floor, but has recently showed off a budding skillset too. He can make shots in the mid-range and as a pop guy out of ball screens, while also operating as an initiator out of DHO situations. On the other end of the floor, he walls up in the paint withouth fouling and has the ability to rebound both in space and in traffic. He uses his size and length combination on that end of the floor to protect the rim as a shot blocker.
