**Yves Missi** is a freak athlete who’s played organized basketball for less than three years, giving him significant long-term upside.
Missi thrives as a pick-and-roll finisher and lob threat with a wide catch radius, but he’s also been able to create his own shot while attacking off the dribble from the perimeter occasionally. He’s also considered one of the top shot blockers in this year’s draft class.
“Yves is somebody that’s capable of being on SportsCenter each and every night,” Baylor coach **Scott Drew**.
Missi was born in Belgium and grew up in Cameroon playing soccer, which has aided his high motor and fluidity as a big man on both ends of the court. Missi, who will turn 20 during the combine, to **Clint Capela** by various NBA executives.
“I’d be a little worried about his stature at the center position,” an NBA executive told HoopsHype. “He’s going to have to make up for it with his motor and outrun and outwork opposing centers.”
