Summary:
Michael Ojo is a tall, big-bodied center that has rather impressive strength and athleticism for a player his size. Though he is only a platoon player in a rotation, he does play on one of the best teams in college basketball, and his ability to score, rebound, and defend in the paint combined with his physical tools could be intriguing to NBA teams. With his skill set, it may not be far-fetched that Ojo could end up finding himself on an NBA roster sometime down the road.
