Ebuka Okorie has star upside. #6 on my overall board but likely will be available at #19:

Elite self-creation and rim pressure. This is the outlier strength that makes him so exciting. 23ppg as a freshman on good efficiency (47/35/83) despite a terrible team context. By far the most unassisted FGM at the rim per 100 possessions in the class. Genuine potential to consistently break down defenses in isolation, the most valuable skill in the NBA.
Good shooting indicators. 5.7 3PA/g on 35.4% with significant pull-up volume, 83.2% FT%. Keeps defenses honest and shows 3-level scoring potential.
NBA-level athletic / physical tools. Enough for his elite creation to translate. Great burst and flexibility. 6'1.25 barefoot is short, but his WS (6'7.75) and SR (8'2) are typical for someone ~6'3 barefoot. Solid 186 lbs and frame appears able to add weight.
Very low TOs. Despite a crowded offense and heavy creation burden, only 1.9 TOs per game.
Age. He's one of the younger players in this draft at 19.2, and analyses consistently show that small differences in age lead to meaningful differences in development.

Cons:

Low assists per game. Clearly not a notable strength, but he made good reads and his teammates did him no favors.
Short. Genuinely a con. If he was 1-2 inches taller, he'd go top 10. But wingspan, standing reach, and weight matter too, and he's got NBA measurements there.

I get why people are making the Tyrese Maxey comp. I also see Tony Parker and Kemba Walker. Genuine star potential.

Fwiw, Quaintance is my other guy but apparently his knees are really that terrible. 2.6 bpg and 1.1 spg as a freshman, insane physical profile, showed some handle and passing. I'd also be thrilled to see him go to the Raptors.

CMB was #1 on my Raptors board, this year it's EBUKA OKORIE

Man I've been working out for weeks and still haven't seen any results 😭. What am I doing wrong? Do I not have the genetics

Any hair style suggestions? Cornrows, 2strand twists? What do you think would look good

Kelvin Sheppard on the Lions' secondary: "the nickel position, a critical position within the defense, wanting to expand upon how much volume we use the nickel, and who is that going to be?"

Happy Pride Month everyone. Who else would be interested in a logo change as a sign of support for civil rights?

I'm Team 1. My first dynasty league and drafted pretty old. Do you think this is worth trading Jacobs, or should I keep him and try to contend? Thanks.

The final trailer has me extremely excited for Roddy the Ruin and Winter Wolves!!
