Kansas Basketball: Breaking down the 2019 recruiting class

Tristan Enaruna – Mount Pleasant, UT

SF | 6-foot-9 | 205 lbs | No. 61 overall

Tristan Enaruna only committed to Kansas in early May but he was a tremendous addition. Ranked at No. 61 in the class, he is a superb perimeter prospect with the potential to be an NBA talent down the road. Although his wingspan leaves some to desire, he brings plenty of athleticism and height to the wing as a potential matchup nightmare, especially at the college level. Enaruna boasts a rather well-rounded game at this point in time although many facets can use some extra polish.

With regards to how he will impact Kansas, it is reasonable to assume that he will be an impact player in many different facets. Offensively, he is a solid shooter out to 3-point range, can take his man off the dribble, and can finish above the rim in transition. At Wasatch Academy, he also showed plenty of passing chops when drawing extra defensive attention. Defensively, he is hard to get past due to his height and quickness as he projects as someone who can defend positions 3-through-5 when necessary.

Enaruna is an extremely versatile player that should continuously improve over the next few years. He is widely regarded as a “small forward” as a future Draft prospect but he can play multiple positions when on the floor. His biggest weakness might be his playmaking but his defense might be the area that needs the most development because his potential on that end is tremendously high with multipositional abilities.
