Equipped with a 7-5 wingspan, Udoka is raw but enticing. He made 77 percent of his shots (1st in NCAA), scoring 13.7 points, grabbing 7.1 rebounds and 1.8 blocks in 24.3 minutes. That’s good for 10.5 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per 36 minutes. He made 40 of 46 field goals (87 percent) in eight games against ranked competition, including a 21 point, 5 rebound and 3 block night vs then #20 West Virginia. That has to make him worth a look, right?
