Ebuka Okorie

Haven't seen much talk of him, few mentions but most of the interest has been on the other Guards of this class.

He is a little smaller physically, but I get Donovan Mitchell vibes from him. Looks like a guy who could score 20+ in the league and is doing so as a freshman in college.

Yeah unfortunately for him he's in a loaded PG class. I haven't gotten to watch much of him yet, but seems like a nice offensive prospect. Good, not elite athleticism, pretty good playmaker, a bit smaller for the new era of PG.

I think he will ultimately stay another year in college.

He's been very fun to watch at his best.

He's a lot like Fears with that special combo quickness and handle creativity to get anywhere on the floor.

Lows have been a little too low though and his size, finishing and shooting are enough of a question mark to keep his draft projection at a level where going back would likely be the right decision for him.

I'm not familiar with next years class, but I wouldnt blame him for going back another year with this class having alot of people getting attention before him. I personally hope he comes out though, think he will be one of the best in the class.

10 seed Stanford just lost to 15 seed Pittsburgh in the first game of the 2026 ACC tournament. Final score 63-64, as Pittsburgh made a last-second layup to win the game after Okorie made his own And-1 shot to take the lead 25 seconds earlier.

Stanford is almost certainly out of the NCAA tournament, and Okorie's first collegiate season might have come to an end.
However, they may be in the NIT.

Eh. Talented volume scorer, but I'm not sure how he helps an NBA team. Might be a Dennis Schroder (now, not earlier in his career) gun for hire bench scorer at best.

Trey Burke type. Wanted to say Aaron Holiday but he is far twitchier and a better floor general.

3rd string guy that can come in and get buckets. Value for him starts around pick 40+ if he enters the draft.
