Strength's
Okafor is a great defender on the low block and is terrific at blocking shots. Was one of the nation's best shot blockers the past few years at the college ranks. Also has a solid jump hook and post moves on offense that allow him to keep defenses honest. Athletic build and frame that have people oohing and awwwing.
Weakness
Okafor is a tad foul prone and has also had some minor injuries flair up that could be an issue. While he has a few solid offensive moves his offense is a tad limited and he has a terrible jumper from outside. He might have issues guarding bigger centers.
Scout's Take
Okafor is certainly one of the better prospects in this 2004 draft class should he come out. He and fellow Huskie Ben Gordan, are talking about repeating as champs or leaving. One day its staying one day its leaving.
If he leaves he should battle for the top draft pick.
