Okonoboh, the cousin of UCONN center Alex Oriakhi, has one of the highest upsides of anyone in New England. Although he came off the bench at Tilton and continues to struggle to find minutes on BABC, Okonoboh has unlimited upside. He is extremely long, bouncy, and has a knack for electrifying plays. For these reasons ESPN ranked him in their top 50 for the class of 2013. Here is his ESPN evaluation and highlight tape.
Okonoboh is a mobile big man and high level athlete. He runs the floor, changes direction, gets off his feet in a hurry, and plays high above the rim to finish plays and block shots. He loves to dunk the ball and will do so by getting out in transition, tipping in offensive rebounds, sealing when fronted on the block, or quickly rolling to the rim after setting the ball screen. He also shows some potential facing up and utilizing his quickness to attack with a bounce from the short corner or elbow and has a pretty soft touch on his jumper from 12 feet and in. Defensively, is a big time shot blocker and versatile on the ball defender thanks to his lateral quickness.
