#7: Chicago Bulls: Onyeka Okongwu | Power Forward | USC
Tall. Active. Aggressive. What more do you want in a big man? Okognwu is a 6’9″, 245 lb. nimble power forward-center hybrid who can jump out of the gym and has an attacking nature.
To answer my hypothetical question from the previous paragraph, most teams want their big men to be able to shoot now and Okognwu can’t do that. However, despite not having a reliable jump shot, the big man can still score.
He made over 61 percent of his field-goal attempts last season with the Trojans and averaged 16.2 points per game. He also hauled in 8.6 rebounds per game on defense, swatted 2.5 blocks per game and snagged 1.2 steals.
He is like a way more coordinated and assertive version of Cheick Diallo.
His skillset would work well with the Bulls who need a little bit of everything. He and Cody White could provide a solid 1-2 punch in the not-too-distant future.
