NBA prospect Michael Foster decided to forego college to play for the G League Ignite, and now he already has pro experience before the draft.
Foster averaged 14.1 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 2.0 blocks per game for the Ignite. He averaged 1.29 points per possession on his catch-and-shoot attempts, per Synergy, which ranked in the 90th percentile among all G League players. It was also hard for opponents to score against him near the basket.
While at the NBA Draft Combine, he measured at 6’9.25″ in shoes with a 7’0.25″ wingspan. Despite the measurements, the former Hillcrest Prep standout told For The Win that he believes he is more of a wing than a big man.
