Zuby Ejiofor
High-motor five with rebounding chops, rim finishing, and developing face-up touch — switchable bench-five archetype.
Combine Day 1 — quiet winner. Measured 6'7.5" barefoot with a 7'2" wingspan and an 8'11" standing reach at 245 lb. Athletic testing was the surprise: 38" max vert, 34" no-step, and an 11.05 lane agility that came in right behind Morez Johnson — the best mark of any big in the field. No Ceilings started arguing top-20; late-1st is the right zone until scrimmages confirm.

Switchable bench-five behind Duren — offensive-rebounding identity gives the second unit a possession-creation engine.
Ejiofor is exactly the kind of switchable bench-five Detroit's roster math needs behind Duren. He can credibly play in pick-and-roll defense at the NBA level, and the high-motor offensive-rebounding identity gives the second unit a possession-creation engine. Late-1st / early-2nd value.
The Report
Ejiofor is a 22-year-old St. John's senior with a length-on-frame profile (6'7.5" barefoot, 7'2" wingspan, 8'11" standing reach at 245 lb) that lets him play either frontcourt spot.
The NBA bet is defensive versatility. He's coordinated and fluid laterally, can meet ball-screens at the level and slide, and his combination of strength + length makes him a credible part-time switch piece against wings — a real differentiator for a backup five. Spot-up shooting in drills was clean when he had time to square up; the pull-up and relocation reps were inconsistent but acceptable for a no-volume college shooter.
For Detroit, Ejiofor is the late-1st / early-2nd bench-five swing. He doesn't compete with Duren — he gives the second unit a switchable, plus-length body with offensive-rebounding chops and just enough standstill shooting to keep the floor open.
