No. 10 Allen Mukeba - Oakland Golden Grizzlies

14.6 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists

Mukeba is an extraordinary athlete. Guys who are 6’6” tall should not be able to do the things he can do, especially when he is going up against guys who are much bigger than he is. Mukeba transferred to Oakland last year from Kansas City. He found a role at Oakland as a junkyard dog-type player, and he fits in perfectly with how head coach Greg Kampe plays.

The forward doesn’t shoot threes and will do all of his work in the paint. He was great on the pick-and-roll and executed quite a few lob plays for the Golden Grizzlies. He shot almost 60% from the floor, being a 6’6” forward. That is impressive. If you like physical, athletic, and big men who can defend and rebound, then Mukeba is the player for you.
