Pros:

Adequate low post scorer

Adequate defender
Solid shot blocker
Above average athlete

Cons:

Needs to improve his face-up game
Must expand upon his low post game
Must extend his shooting range
Needs to improve his playmaking skills
Can be too passive on offense
Needs to improve his rebounding
Struggles to guard quicker players

Summary:

Felix Okpara is a mobile, rim protecting big man that will block shots and defend in the interior to help his team lock down the paint.  He will need to improve his skill set offensively, but his ability to anchor the middle could enable him to be a second round pick sometime in the future.
