Ogugua Anunoby is an enigma in the college basketball world. A once top-10 projected selection in the upcoming 2017 NBA Draft, Anunoby possesses elite physical ability, shooting potential and intangibles that coaches covet. So what exactly makes him a mystery?

2016-2017 STATS: PPG: 11.1 / RPG: 5.4 / APG: 1.4 / PER: 24.2

OG Anunoby is a 19-year-old, prototypical small forward hailing from the University of Indiana. Measuring in at an NBA-ready 6’8 235lbs frame and a rumored 7’6 wingspan (!!!) — Anunoby is evidently not your typical college player. In yearly tradition, questions arise regarding the physical profile of many immensely talented NCAA/overseas players upon their NBA arrival (see: Brandon Ingram, Kristaps Porzingis).

Not this kid.
