Michael Olowokandi

Strengths: Massive human being. One of the strongest big men out there. Can maybe hit a baby jump hook or two. Decent ability to defend in the post. Can probably block a few shots. Good defensive rebounder.

Weaknesses: Terrible free throw shooter. Zero range. Very slow. Overall game still feels very raw.

Scout's Take: Very polarizing around the front offices right now. Many feel he definitely, 100% deserves to be taken ahead of the likes of Dirk Nowitzki, Vince Carter, Paul Piece etc. Many feel like they want what those guys are smoking. Tales of him benching 350lbs and leg pressing excess of 1200lbs have size queens foaming at the mouth to draft him however, but there are definitely a lot of concerns about his upside.

Ratings: Michael Olowokandi C 7'0'' 269 B- D+ F C B A

Stipulations: None.
