Chad Ford description from his Mock Draft: -------------------------------------------------------- Onuaku is a beast in the paint. He has an NBA body, he can really rebound and block shots, and he's just 19 yrs old. It's his lack of offensive game that holds him back.

Every one looks good in a highlight vid. The shot blocking and offensive rebounding looks good. He also looks like he has above average court vision for a big man.
Did anyone else notice the graphic that came up that said Boston Celtics pick 37 anauaka? Is this a trade?
Great another project player... we have no assets that other teams want for a trade, couldn't even move up in the draft, plus Morey's drafting ability is mediocre at best, if we strike out in free agency... it will be another disaster of a season with D'antoni leading the charge. Future not looking too bright TBH.
Well from that highlight videos it looks like he has some real nice vision for a big man. Can only do wonders for him in a Mike D'Antoni system
guy can jump and dunk, nice defender but free throws take a look https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTo-K_v4BEI

Needed some sort of center next year. This guy is a modern day Center, 19, and is cheap. Known for Defense and a high motor. Also is a pretty darn good passer for a center. I approve.
