Gonzaga’s Graham Ike NBA Draft profile: Measurements, strengths, weaknesses

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs saw five players drafted between 2021 and 2023, but were skunked the past two years – even with Ryan Nembhard having a record-breaking senior season in 2024-25.

Graham Ike, a third-team All-American and one of three 2,000-point scorers in college basketball last year, is hoping to break Gonzaga’s streak and hear his name called on June 24 when the second round of the NBA draft takes place.

Ike was a 0-star recruit out of high school who ended up at Wyoming, where he averaged 11.2 points in 12 games as a freshman in 2020-21. He then blossomed into a superstar as a sophomore, averaging 19.5 points and 9.6 rebounds for the Cowboys in 2021-22. The big man was the preseason Mountain West Player of the Year heading into 2022-23, but he suffered a foot injury that took him out for the entire campaign, after which he entered the transfer portal and landed at Gonzaga.

Ike then spent three years in Spokane with the Zags, averaging 17.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 1.5 assists while leading the WCC in eFG% twice and winning conference player of the year in 2025-26.

Ike is one of four WCC players ever with 2,000+ career points and 1,000+ career rebounds, and as one of the most prolific players in the country over the last half decade, he’ll be on every NBA team’s radar when the draft gets underway at the end of the month.

Below is a look at Ike’s measurements from the G League Elite Camp, as well as his strengths, weaknesses, and overall projection as an NBA player:
