Kofi Cockburn was one of the most dominant players in college basketball a season ago and he has the All-American trophy to show for it. A seven-foot sophomore at Illinois, Cockburn averaged 17.7 points and 9.5 rebounds per game while ranking first nationally in dunks, fourth in field goal percentage and third in double-doubles.
After the season he entered the NBA Draft with intentions of staying there, but now Andrew Slater says Cockburn will add his name to the transfer portal to weigh his other options while still keeping his name in the draft until next week’s deadline.
