The first thing that’s highlighted when talking about Kopp is his size, but he’s not just a big body on defense; he uses his frame and lower body strength along with quick lateral movements to not get beat. The BBL Black product slides with purpose and pesters his opponents’ hands to disrupt the offense and give his teammates time to reset on the back end. Being that most of his matchups are shorter than him, he shows good awareness to get low, move his feet, and avoid high checks that could draw flags. Off a turnover or ground ball pick-up, he can flip the field with good speed and can be a threat with the ball when the defense leaves him alone. As a freshman, Kopp tallied a goal and three assists and will look to earn a starting spot for Pingry, where a couple of defenders have graduated.
