Baba Oladotun

Draft Notes

A long and wiry wing with big-time shooting ability and a ton of long-term upside, Baba has a chance to grow into a special player. He’s got an intriguing combination of size, length, skill and scoring ability and is one of the more talented prospects in his class.

Oladotun has great size for his age and moves really well for a long wing. He’s fluid getting up and down the court, covers a lot of ground with his long strides and has enough quickness to attack off the bounce. He’s still very thin and will need to add a lot of strength, but the physical tools are clearly there.

At this point his shooting and overall scoring ability really stand out. Baba has a smooth jumper with good touch and deep range and has the ability to get hot in a hurry. His combination of height, length and a high release point makes his shot difficult to contest, and he projects as a player who can eventually score at all three levels. He can knock down shots off the catch but also shows some ability to create his own offense and pull up off the dribble.

On the defensive end Baba’s length gives him a lot of potential but will have to add strength and show that he has the foot-speed to hang with smaller wings.

Overall, Oladotun is a high-upside wing prospect with the type of shooting talent, size and scoring instincts that NBA teams covet. If he continues to develop physically and rounds out his game, his ceiling is extremely high.
