For years, Baba Oladotun has been viewed as one of the most talented prospects in his class. The skilled forward emerged as an elite recruit early in high school, spent time in the conversation for the No. 1 player in his class and even drew Kevin Durant comparisons because of his combination of size, perimeter skill and shot-making.
For years, Baba Oladotun has been viewed as one of the most talented prospects in his class. The skilled forward emerged as an elite recruit early in high school, spent time in the conversation for the No. 1 player in his class and even drew Kevin Durant comparisons because of his combination of size, perimeter skill and shot-making.
Those comparisons only became louder when Oladotun suited up for Team Durant on the Nike EYBL circuit. But as his high school career progressed, other prospects began passing him in the rankings and some of the enormous early hype surrounding his name faded.
Could that actually be the best thing for Baba Oladotun? On NBA Draft Junkies Live, Rafael and James discuss whether entering college with less pressure could allow Oladotun to reset expectations, establish his own identity and remind everyone why he was once considered one of the premier prospects in his class. We’ll break down his NBA tools, his development and what we should realistically expect from him as a freshman.
