7'1" 230 lbs with frame for more and 7'5.25" reach .... 2nd only to AD on Lakers at 7'6". Athlete. Rim protector. Can guard on the perimeter. Sheeeeooooot!!! Surgical procedure is what took care of the blood clot issue according to this video. Turned 24 near end of June.
Report on him coming out of college before all that above in the Pros with the Raptors and 10 lbs lighter:
Mobile center with 7-foot-5.25 wingspan is coming off a breakout junior season at Arizona that saw him emerge as an impactful rim protector and make some real strides with his feel for the game on offense.
About Christian Koloko
Koloko is a long, athletic big man who turned a corner in his development as a junior not just emerging as a more polished rim protector, but also showed major signs of growth on the offensive end, too.

What prediction hot takes do you have for the upcoming season?
This will be a nice spot for keeping track of receipts and “see I told you so” predictions.
My prediction hot takes:
1. Dalton will be in the conversation for Rookie of the year. I think JJ’s going to give him the minutes he needs as long as his defense isn’t atrocious.
2. Austin will have a break out year. I think Austin will average around 20 per game and increase his assists drastically.
3. I think the Lakers will finish 4th in the West IF we get Vando back early in the season and no long term injuries to AD during the season. If not we’re probably 7th or 8th.
One shot that could have changed everything. It was reported that this was Jerry West’s biggest regret in his career. Probably b******* but it would make sense. Had Selvy hit the mid range shot, which he was a master at, at the time, the Lakers beat Boston in 1962 in Game 7 and maybe history goes the other way. Crazy what one yard, one at bat or one shot can do in the annals of sports history.
Man, Kerr has his hands full with the decisions and super sized egos. I think he does what's best for team. Hopefully none of the NBA stars get injured!
LeBron James off Team USA’s bench? Unlikely, but welcome to life on the modern Dream Team
