9/26/26: Extremely thin. Agility is tremendous. Riak is growing into a wing forward. His toughness as a hooper continues to blossom. Great listener. Coach’s dream. Ruot will be asked to gain weight thoguh it will be challenging. He is just a thin guy genetically. Again his agility is insanely good at 6-foot-8ish. Born and raised in South Sudan.

Riak is an intriguing big man with good mobility who changes ends of the floor with ease. He is a high level finisher around the basket and a productive rebounder who uses his size and activity to impact the paint on both ends of the floor. Riak also shows flashes of developing perimeter skill, including the ability to step away from the basket and knock down open jump shots. His combination of mobility, interior production and developing offensive versatility gives him plenty of long term upside.

Riak continues to develop into a eye catching prospect. At 6’10, he has expanded his offensive game and become more comfortable as a perimeter shooter, but his length remains one of his biggest strengths. Riak protects the rim well and uses his size to alter shots around the basket. He also runs the floor effectively in transition and finishes above the rim. With an offer already from Jacksonville and more attention coming his way, Riak’s potential continues to grow.
