Who Is He?

Listed as a 6-foot-11 power forward, there isn’t a whole lot out on Okwera.

Based on his film, he moves well and handles the ball solidly for his size, though it is tough to tell the competition level of those he is playing against. His coordination is also great for someone of his stature.

He defends the rim well and is a good outlet passer. He also has the capability to knock down a 3-pointer when need be.

In the Rankings

Okwera isn’t on any of the major recruiting services yet.

Others Involved

Despite not having profiles on 247Sports or Rivals, Okwera’s offer list is growing this summer. He boasts offers from Arkansas, Nebraska, Oregon State, Maryland and others.
