NBA DRAFT SCOUTING REPORT
Draft Notes
Obi’s younger brother had a strong freshman season at Rhode Island before transferring to Kentucky and has been solid for the Cats so far but hasn’t really taken the next step and become a star.
He’s a long 6-9 combo forward with springy legs and great above the rim ability. His physical tools are enough to give him a chance to develop into a NBA level player but it might take a few years.
Jacob will have to space the floor and hit the 3 ball at a better clip to make it in the league. He’ll also have to improve from the FT line after hitting about 64% from the line as senior.
Despite the flaws in his game he’s got the tools to work with and could develop into a good pro in time.
