2016 NBA Draft Profile: Daniel Ochefu

Related Topics: Power forward (basketball)

Chef is an ideal power forward, but he has the size to play the 5 in today's NBA. Standing at 6-11 with a 7-3 wingspan, he's long enough to guard stretch 4's and more athletic bigs. He's slim at 245 pounds, but he's tough inside and should find no problem adjusting to the inside game of the pros.

Rebounding

Ochefu is exceptional on the glass, ranking in the top 40 of DR% in the last two seasons, although his numbers on the glass took a hit last season. He pulled down 7.5 rebounds a game last season, and his presence inside makes it easier for perimeter shooters to chuck up the basketball knowing Chef is down low working the boards

Weaknesses

Offense

Ochefu has never been a great offensive weapon inside.
