Oso Ighodaro

Draft Notes

Oso is a unique player. At 6-9 he’s a highly gifted passer who processes the game at an elite level and has a great feel for finding cutters and hitting the open man.

He’s got a NBA frame and all the tools for the next level. He’s not an elite athlete but has plenty of speed, quickness and plays above the rim with ease.

Can score in the post and take advantage of smaller defenders.

A good screener with a nice feel and understanding of how to create space.

Oso is also a standout defender who can guard up and down the line-up and forces a lot of turnovers. He can defend at the rim and guard the perimeter.

He projects as a high level role player at the next level who will bring a lot of value to a NBA team.
