Kyle Filipowski shares his goal for the NBA rookie season

Filipowski spent two years with the Duke Blue Devils and averaged 15.8 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists. He shot 47.3% from the floor and 31.4% from the 3-point range.

With his wide shooting range and skills in the post, Filipowski would be a great addition to any NBA team. ESPN predicts him to be a No. 22 pick, while CBS Sports puts him at No. 30.

In a recent interview with "For The Win," Kyle Filipowski detailed his goals for his first season in the NBA.

"Definitely going right into this year is Rookie of the Year," he said. "I don’t think that’s out of my reach at all. If I should play the way I’m capable of, there is no question I should be in that conversation.

"But ultimately, wherever I go, I just want to help that team win. Winning is the most important thing for me and I know that with what comes with that is those individual accolades and just being able to do that and work for those types of goals is very important to me."

Per reports, the Phoenix Sun and the OKC Thunder are said to be considering adding Filipowski to their roster. The 2024 NBA draft will be on June 26 and 27 in New York. It will be broadcast on ESPN (both days) and ABC (first round).
