Kofi Cockburn is a traditional, physically dominant center whose sheer size and strength make him a handful in the paint. The 26-year-old Jamaican stands at an imposing 7'0" and 300 pounds, a throwback big man who commanded double-teams throughout his college career at the University of Illinois. A three-time All-Big Ten selection and consensus Second-team All-American, Cockburn averaged a double-double in each of his three seasons with the Fighting Illini. After going undrafted in 2022, he embarked on a professional career overseas, currently playing for the Hiroshima Dragonflies in Japan's B.League, where his size and scoring touch around the basket are major assets. His main honors include his All-American status and multiple All-Big Ten team selections. Cockburn's game is centered on establishing deep post position, finishing with power, and controlling the defensive glass. While the modern NBA values perimeter skills from big men, Cockburn's archetype remains highly effective in leagues across the globe.
