I like to think of Okungwu as TT, if TT actually had offensive potential.
There's enough there to buy in to his floor at 5. And if he develops his passing a bit more, he develops his face up game a bit more, you see an avenue to him being a plus player on both ends.
To me, Okungwu profiles as exactly the type of guy you want in that mid lottery range (5-9).........production, discernible NBA skills, young, and just enough "wow" tape to expect that there is a higher offensive ceiling.
He just does everything really well on a possession basis. I was reading some scouting reports Schmidt had produced on OO and he called him one of the best teenage pick and roll defenders he has evaluated. That singular skill is so damn valuable, that I really don't understand why he isn't more coveted in a draft with so much volatility at the top.
While I 100% agree, fuck you for stealing my thunder.
