The ultra-talented freshman has been electric since his playing time has spiked. He, along with Horace Spencer, is Auburn’s only hope of an interior presence. He has logged a double-double in two straight games.
Okeke is averaging 8 points, 5.4 rebounds, and just over an assist per game. These numbers don’t jump off the page but Okeke is going to improve and these numbers will go up. Auburn Head Coach Bruce Pearl has even said he is the one responsible for holding Okeke back.
Back in high school, he was Mr. Basketball in the state of Georgia last year and he dominated at that level.
