Player Summary

Gradi Ekutshu is a name you need to know in the 2027 class. At 6’8”, this forward is a walking highlight reel with elite athleticism and a game built for today’s style of basketball. He’s a high motor player, but what really makes him special is the way he plays above the rim and changes the game with his energy. In transition, he’s a problem—outrunning bigs and finishing with authority. In the half-court, he’s got the tools to attack off the bounce, stretch the defense, or punish smaller defenders in the paint.

On the defensive end, Ekushu’s versatility jumps off the page. He can switch onto guards, protect the rim, and swallow up rebounds with his size and motor. He’s not just an athlete—his instincts and feel for the game are ahead of the curve for his age. Gradi Ekushu has all the ingredients to be a star at the next level and beyond. If he continues to develop, he could be one of the most sought-after recruits in his class.
