PF/C Kosta Koufos (CSKA Moscow)

SI.com's Seth Davis has the skinny on some stars-in-the-making
Here are 10 players who stood out during the day and a half I spent at the [NBA] camp:

Kosta Koufos, 7-1 center, Canton, Ohio
Koufos has already committed to Ohio State, and though he is not the next Greg Oden, he will take a lot of the sting out of Oden's departure (assuming Oden leaves after his freshman season). In fact, Koufos is more skilled offensively than Oden -- he can shoot threes and handle the ball away from the basket. Koufos needs to get tougher around the rim, but it's not often you see a guy possess this much size and skill before he's even started his senior year of high school.

Near the bottom of the article, the writer has glowing remarks for Koufos and his ability to shoot from the perimeter as a 7 footer. Has a NBA ready body (7-0, 252) and is very impressive.

Saturday's action at the NIKE camp......Koufos is described as a rare breed, mammoth size but can shoot the ball like a guard, unstoppable guarded 1 on 1 and leaves defenders in awe. Enough said.
