Ebuka is alreay an eye opener and Okpara has clearly improved over last year and the two have some synergy. When Ebuka made a drive and had no shot, instead of turning it over he seemed to know exactly where Okpara would be and hit him in the hands for a lay in. That is a two we shouldl be very glad to have.
Clearly we should be recruiting more Nigerian bballers and athletes in general! Nneka and Chiney, Kiki Iriafen, KZ Okpala, and hopefully Ebuka and Okpara, and Nora Ezike too. Quite a few standouts in other sports as well.
Hoping that Ebuka is the 2nd coming of Brevin Knight, a one-man press breaker with the ability to penetrate into the lane and break down defenses who turned around the entire trajectory of our bball team. That's a big ask and we'll see if he can keep up his hot start as we play better competition. Didn't really expect this from someone who only averaged 13 pts in high school, but his early Stanford tape is very impressive so far.
