What they're saying:
ESPN.com
“He began his freshman season ranked as a potential Top 10 prospect, hit the wall midseason and finished strong. He's a very skilled big man with excellent perimeter skills. However, his so-so athleticism and rebounding ability limit his upside. Look for him to be a late-lottery to mid-first-round pick.”

"OSU would've been fabulous with Koufos and B.J. Mullens. Alas, it's doubtful Koufos will return to school to make it happen."

Collegehoops.net
"Players with Kosta Koufos’ size and skill package don’t come along too often, so his decision to enter the draft shouldn’t come as a surprise. While he would probably benefit from at least another year in college, Koufos should be an early pick this year and could pan out to be an above-average pro."

NBADraft.net
"A very skilled big man, Koufos shows the ability and desire to be a great passer from the post … He is also comfortable putting the ball on the floor, but lacks the athleticism and foot speed to be too much of a threat off the dribble … Although on the college level, he can take the ball off the dribble very effectively and ever from the top of the key … He is an excellent free throw shooter, can hit the three ball, and has a nice midrange jumper."

Draft Express
“Size…excellent wingspan…extremely high skill level…excellent hands…scoring instincts…back to the basket scoring/Jump-hook… outstanding shooting touch…phenomenal with feet set…true center defensively.”
