2018 NBA Draft: 5 best prospects at small forward

3. Arnoldas Kulboka, Capo D’Orlando

At 6’9” with a 6’11” wingspan, Kulboka was on the draft radar last season, but is set to finally enter his name into the mix come 2018. Currently on loan to Capo D’Orlando in Italy, we should see Kulboka log some heavy playing time in a setting that’s designed to get him developmental minutes. He lacks the strength to compete at the next level early on, but is another plus athlete who could play either forward position once his frame fills out.

Offense is what should move Kulboka up most draft boards as the season progresses. He’s extremely mobile for his size, showing legitimate isolation prowess and thriving in transition, where his soft touch and fluid movement allows him to run the court and finish from a variety of angles around the basket.

He’s also a strong spot-up shooter, coming off of screens and knocking down shots from NBA range on occasion. His mechanics look even better than his 36.2 percent tally from last season, and that potential as a floor spacer — especially once he’s able to spend heavy minutes at the 4 — is what will draw most teams to him as a prospect.

He’s also a bouncy athlete, which yields some serious upside on the defensive end. We’re likely a few years out from seeing Kulboka in his best form, but he has the potential to defend multiple positions, block shots on the weakside and pose a consistent offensive threat at either forward spot.

In a league that preaches versatility, he’ll fit right in.
