Expert Analysis

Andrew Baxley

Prep Hoops Scout

Rooths showed some of the charts defensive attributes in South Carolina this weekend. Listed at 6’7″ with a plus wingspan, he has the frame to affect shots against several different defensive assignments. Specifically, he made a big-time play in the third quarter where he went 84 feet to chase down a ball-handler a stuff their shot at the rack. On the offensive end, Khani fed off his teammates to make some big shots. He only had 8 points, but 5 of them came on the back of big IMG runs including a pretty emphatic transition dunk. To go with those 8 points, he put up 3 blocks and 2 steals in their win over La Lumiere.

The 6-8 senior forward and Michigan commit has a combination skillset of length and speed on both ends of the floor. Rooths is a dominant wing where he can cover his spots as well as score on all three levels. On the defensive end of the floor, he is a matchup nightmare where he guards positions 1 through 5 using his length to challenge opposing shots around the rim. He’s not your perennial threat to knock down shots from the perimeter but he has a strong tendency to knock down shots off the bounce as well as off the catch.

Rooths is a top-tier talent in the 2024 class who will benefit from NIBC play. He will be an important player for the Spartans as they look to matchup with some of the country’s most athletic wings.
