Okongwu earned All-Pac-12 first-team honors during his year at USC and established himself as one of the best Centers in the NCAA.
Okongwu averaged 16.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.7 blocks and 1.2 steals for the Trojans, drawing comparisons to Miami's Bam Adebayo. His athleticism and way to get it done on both ends of the floor is what project him to be a lottery pick in the coming NBA Draft.
The Trojan started receiving a lot of attention as a freshman in high school, where he teamed up with the three ball brothers at Chino Hills and won state championship while going undefeated.
