* Perimeter-oriented big man with solid skill level and versatility on offense

* Decent playmaker and ball-handler for a big man, averaging 3.1 assists

* Effective passer, particularly on the move, adept at finding backdoor cutters

* Capable of scoring in various ways, including off the dribble and from the perimeter

* Comfortable finishing at the rim with either hand and effective in the mid-range area

* Shows promise as both a pick-and-roll and pick-and-pop threat

* Underrated defense with good positioning, shot-blocking ability, and lateral quickness

* Inconsistent offensive performances, prone to disappearing on some nights

* Struggles to finish down low at times due to lack of explosiveness

* Not an elite rebounder, particularly on the offensive end

* May not be an ideal switch defender in the modern NBA despite decent lateral movement

“I think Filipowski has a long career as an eighth or ninth guy,” an NBA executive told HoopsHype. “If he starts firing threes and knocking them down like Kelly Olynyk, I think that makes him more intriguing. Otherwise, if he’s a lone five that can’t shoot, has to play in the drop, and isn’t athletic, he’s going to be out of the league pretty fast.”

“Filipowski and Olynyk are both near 7-footers and have various skills,” another NBA executed said. “Even though they’re bigs, they can pass and dribble a little bit and can shoot.”

“Filipowski doesn’t have great quickness, but he’s effective in the mid-range area and has a nice touch in that area,” an NBA scout told HoopsHype. “He can score, but he’s not a low post scorer. I’m not sure if he’ll shoot it well enough to be a pick-and-pop guy. Overall, he’s a late lottery pick for me.”
