Ryan Kalkbrenner 2025 NBA Draft Combine Issued Jersey

This NBA Draft Combine jersey was issued to Ryan Kalkbrenner on May 13, 2025 in Chicago, at Wintrust Arena and the Marriott Marquis Hotel.

With a 7’1”, 270 lb frame, massive 7’6” wingspan, and 9’4” standing reach, Kalkbrenner offers elite size, rim protection, and interior scoring in a modern center package.

Kalkbrenner starred at Creighton from 2020–2025, compiling career averages of 14.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 2.4 blocks per game over 169 appearances (138 starts). He shot 65.8% from the field and 70.9% from the free-throw line, showcasing both efficiency and defensive dominance.

His elite production translated into record-breaking achievements:

• Amassed 399 career blocks, ranking second in Creighton history.

• Became one of just three Bluejays with 2,000+ points and 1,000+ rebounds, totaling 2,443 points and 1,098 boards.

• Won four straight Big East Defensive Player of the Year awards (2022–25).

• Collected national accolades in 2025: Kareem Abdul‑Jabbar Award, Naismith and NABC Defensive Player of the Year, and multiple All‑American honors.

Blending rare size, efficient scoring, elite rim protection, and leadership, Kalkbrenner projects as a high-floor, low-usage center with immediate rotational value. His shot-blocking presence and pick-and-roll proficiency make him an appealing fit as a backup 5 or situational defensive anchor.
