Cole Kirouac

Kirouac is a thin-framed big man who has a misleading slight frame but a great amount of potential. While most prospects with his size and build are uncomfortable playing through contact, Kirouac invites it when looking to score inside. He never hesitates to put his shoulder in a defender and his effort entails he wants to always be counted upon when he receives the ball and looks to score down low. He shows solid touch around the basket and his year-to-year progression shows that he has been a steadfast worker who is dedicated to getting better. Kirouac is tough but his body must develop for him to find success at the high major level. He does not mind battling but he lacks the strength needed to consistently stay on balance when operating through physicality. Given his size and length, there is no denying his upside. When adding in his effort, Kirouac shows a lot of promise. Both his body and skill level will evolve and he will have a great chance at developing into a notable big man in the ACC. Kirouac will play a more competitive schedule at Wolfeboro (N.H.) Brewster Academy during his senior campaign. Once he returns home to begin his college career, Stoudamire will have the perfect canvas to sculpt in the frontcourt.
