Georgetown freshman center Thomas Sorber has quickly caught the attention of NBA scouts with a rare blend of strength, touch and size. The 2025 draft hopeful averaged 14.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.0 blocks across 24 games before a foot injury ended his season.
Sorber’s reported wingspan could rank top five among NBA big men, fueling comparisons to Paul Millsap and Andre Drummond. His all-around impact on both ends and physical profile have elevated his stock, making him one of the most intriguing big men available in this year’s class.

Sorber’s game blends finesse and strength, and he excels as both a play-finisher and a potential offensive hub. His soft touch around the rim, passing instincts, and flashes of vision have drawn comparisons to Paul Millsap.
His lob-catching ability, foot speed, and vertical explosiveness make him a dangerous roller, while his lateral mobility has impressed evaluators during pick-and-roll drills. Defensively, Sorber’s length helps offset questions about his height for a traditional five, allowing him to disrupt shots, hedge on screen,s and recover effectively.
The 19-year-old averaged 14.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks over 24 games before undergoing foot surgery. While the injury ended his season prematurely and will keep him from participating in pre-draft workouts, Sorber remains a projected mid-to-late first-round selection—No. 23 in ESPN’s current rankings. He expects to resume basketball activities by August.
Though his offensive repertoire remains developing, his skill set as a modern five is clear. Sorber’s rebounding instincts and willingness to battle in the paint mirror traits seen in Andre Drummond’s game. Meanwhile, his intelligence, defensive awareness, and selfless style on both ends reflect elements of Millsap’s impact.
Sorber initially declared for the draft while keeping his college eligibility intact, but told reporter Andy Katz that he is fully committed to turning pro and won’t return to Georgetown.
