Scouting Report

Assets
  • A rare mix of size and skill at the pivot position. Okur has legitimate 3-point range, but is also a battler in the post who will not give an inch and has a knack for hauling in rebounds.
Flaws
  • Not a jaw-dropping athlete, which sometimes limits him defensively in the NBA. Can be streaky sometimes with his shot.
Career Potential
  • Starting center with All-Star potential.
