In the Nike All Star Game there was a kid from Nigeria who just dominated the game at both ends. He end up with something like 19 pts., 13 rebs., 3 assists and looked just Awesome. The media and some of the top publication have compared him to Hakeem and thinks he at this stage is much more advance then Dream was. From what I understand is that he can't play college ball in this country because he has been playing professionally in Germany for the past two years, but he wants to play in the NBA. I think he would look awesome in Rockets uniform for next 15 years.He is definitly top 5 pick in the draft (he has too much hops in his game very athletic along with sheer brute strength - plays very physical). Olumide Oyedeji age - 19 years height- 6'11" weight - 240 lbs Check out few of the links to Sporting News by Brick Oettinger : http://www.sportingnews.com/voices/brick_oettinger/20000405.html and a link from hoopscooponline April 1, 2000 by Clark Francis: http://www.hoopscooponline.com/visitors/scoop-april2000.html ------------------ Mks
We were talking about him in another thread and I agree. He stood out more than anybody in that game except for Darius Miles and probably Zach Randolph, the guy he played against. I don't think he dominated but he was playing NBA-physical ball, though. He was using those elbows like a pro... literally. He reminded me somewhat of a Larry Johnson in his heyday with his play. Or perhaps even a bit of Charles Oakley but with much more offense (or offensive potential, anyway). ------------------ <this space for rent>

Olumide Oyedeji age - 19 years height- 6'11" weight - 240 lbs 240 lbs is a bit on the small side for a pro 4, but this kid is only 19! In three or four years, he could easily fill out to 260 lbs and have the body that can log legit minutes at the 5. I don't see Oyedeji going with a lottery pick, not unless the Clips throw their pick at him. If the Rocks get the 15th pick from Orlando, maybe they can take a chance on him. ------------------
well, didn't Toronto grab their center (Radojevic?) with like the #9 pick? A kid with his potential, I certainly would not feel we wasted our pick if we got him. An enforcer to protect Stevie Franchise, who can rebound, and has some offensive skills. Pistons of the 80s all over again, except with our whole core being about 25 and under? I like it. ------------------ Rockets fans wanted at hoopsboards.com Draft Chat, NBA Chat, Team Chat, and more!
I agree with you 100%, I think he has allot of potential couple years down the road. Defensively he really stands out but offense needs allot of improvement. Looking at the draft so far, one can say it is week draft and every day it is getting weeker. But he would be ideal for mid first round selection if we can get it from either Orlando or Detroit. ------------------ Mks
