Fans of college basketball and the NBA know his name, and so should you, as Jahlil Okafor is dominating college basketball. The center out of Chicago plays for Duke and makes scoring in the post look easy. There are a few factors that are making scouts drool over his potential.

There are tall players in the NBA and college basketball, but standing at 6-foot-11-inches, he seems to tower over his opponents. This allows him to take up more space in the paint on defense and makes it easier for him to block shots. He is not known to be much of an elite athlete, but his size makes up for it.

When Okafor gets the ball in the post, he almost immediately grabs it with one hand and raises it above his head to assess his defender. His hands are so big that he can palm the ball like a grapefruit.

In addition to his height, scouts are not too concerned with his lack of athleticism because of his 7-foot-5-inch wingspan. I am 5-feet-11-inches, so he could touch the top of my head and my feet with room to spare. This wingspan allows him to easily shoot over his defender.

His post game is also notably polished. He can do just about every move on the block, along with a go-to spin that he uses to get his defender off-balance and a jump hook that he can rely on to score. My favorite move of his is the drop step, one of the easiest moves to do, but when it is done perfectly like he is able to do, it is absolutely gorgeous.

The first thing I ever said about Okafor, besides the fact that he looks exactly like Tim Duncan, was that he looks like a man when he is in the post with the ball. He is able to overpower his opponents on the block, using his entire frame and size to bully his opponent in the paint.

Most scouts agree that Okafor is, at worst, a better version of Al Jefferson, who plays for the Charlotte Hornets and is not a schmuck since he can actually defend the rim competently. I see his upside as someone like Shaquille O’Neal, who can destroy opponents on the block, a number-one option to one with the ball when his team needs a bucket in the last few minutes of a close game. If he can actually develop a jumper, I do not think he will be guardable because of how unstoppable he already is, making a face-up game utterly terrifying.

Jahlil Okafor is an intimidating basketball player now, but his ceiling may be even scarier.
