2015 Draft Prospect Profile: Jahlil Okafor

Jahlil Okafor (Duke | Freshman | Center)

HT: 6'11" | WT: 229 lbs. | Wingspan: 7'5" | 19 years old

2014-15 Stats: 17.3 PPG | 8.7 RPG | 66.4 FG%

Okafor arrived in Durham as the No. 1 recruit in the country, an AP preseason All-American before playing a minute at Cameron Indoor Stadium. He leaves as a National Champion and potential top pick, having justified enormous expectations during one of the most prolific statistical seasons for a big man in recent NCAA memory.

At his peak, the team that drafts Okafor will be hoping for a dominant low-post presence, the type of go-to guy who commands double-teams and consistently beats them.
