The former No. 46 overall recruit in the 2024 recruiting cycle by 247Sports emerged as one of the best players in his class during his lone season at Georgetown. Although his freshman campaign was cut short due to a season-ending foot injury, Sorber showed enough to be a likely first-round pick.
About
All-Big East Third Team selection
Averaged 14.5 points and 8.5 rebounds in 24 games
Recorded 2.0 blocks per game, which ranked second in the Big East
Strengths
Frame. Sorber measured in at 6-9.25 without shoes at the combine with a 7-6 wingspan -- tied with Ryan Kalkbrenner for the second-longest wingspan of any player in the class. Sorber is a throwback big man at 262.8 pounds who can use his size to create advantages against smaller defenders.
Shot blocking. Sorber was one of the best-shot blockers in college basketball. He used his athleticism and length to disrupt shots at and around the rim.
Weaknesses
Shooting. Sorber wasn’t a shooting threat at Georgetown. He only attempted 1.5 3-pointers per game and connected on 16.2% of those attempts. Sorber shot 72.4% from the free throw line, which is a positive sign for his long-term development as a shooter.
Long-term injury concern. Like any center who suffers a season-ending foot injury, there will be some concerns about it lingering into his NBA career. Sorber has a powerful frame, which makes the concerns tenfold. If it’s an isolated foot injury, Sorber will be fine.
