2016-17 stats: Junior stats from Wasatch Academy in Mount Pleasant, Utah unavailable.
Next year's projected role: Reserve forward
Analysis: By choosing to pass up his senior season at Utah’s Wasatch Academy for a likely reserve role with Arizona next season, Akot has already indicated he’s buying in. A versatile 6-foot-7 forward from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Akot has the size and skills to play a wing position but also enough of a passing touch that he could even develop into a point guard over time.
“He was our backup point, we posted him up and he worked a lot on his outside shot,” Wasatch coach Curtis Condie said. “He was more consistent about (his shot) and when he wants to be, he can be an outstanding defender.”
