At 7-foot-1, Luke Kornet is a towering presence — yet in a league full of star power, his impact often flies under the radar. The center position is filled with household names, even a few who are more well-known share the floor with him. However, he brings a level of size, consistency and self-awareness that makes him undoubtedly valuable in his role.
While not quite on Wembanyama’s scale, Kornet stands shoulder-to-shoulder with a group of 35 current players who are 7-feet or taller. In that club, he’s one of only five to go undrafted, compared to the 22 selected in the 1st round.
