I’ll admit I haven’t seen a ton of him yet, but from what I have seen he looks very intriguing. Defensively, his combination of strength, explosiveness, and mobility could make him perfectly suited as a big modern day big in today’s league. Offensively, he’s putting up some very impressive numbers despite the fact that he is still very raw and only seems to be scratching the surface as far as his potential. He didn’t come into the season as highly regarded as guys like Isaiah Stewart and Vernon Carey but I think he’d be a pretty safe bet to get drafted higher than either of them. I think he might have more potential than any big in this draft (possibly with the exception of whiteside). How high could you see Okongwu getting drafted and where do you see as a good fit for him in this draft?

Hes a good prospect lottery bound. Should draw comparisons to Bam Adebayo. Has a bit of developing touch too that he hasnt been showing off as far as a mid range and threee point shot goes and he can finish with his left hand just as good as he finishes with his right so he will keep you guessing which hand he’s gonna finish with.

Personally got him below Oturu and Carey Jr. though. Oturu is just dominant and the only real weakness his game has is his height. Caerey Jr. I dont know why people re sleeping on him, maybe he reminds people of Okafor but he is much more mobile than Jahlil was at Duke.

He should go in the top 10 I think and maybe as high as 3. He reminds me of Bam Adebayo.

Love his game.. F the measurements.. Can he produce should be the bigger question.. I believe YES.

I really like this guy, I think his floor is Tristan Thompson, but I think his ceiling is pretty high. I think Bam is a good comparison at this point. I have him lower than Carey and Oturu, while I think both can be decent, I think Oneyka is gonna be considerably better. If Charlotte doesn’t end up with Wiseman, this is the guy they should go after. I think he can go as high as 4 and as low as 10.

Only situations where I see Wiseman not going first would be Minnesota and possibly Atlanta.
