2020 Draft Profile - Daniel Oturu
Jeremy Woo - Sept. 16th: "Oturu is a powerful athlete but lacks the ideal size and skill level for an NBA five, and he can be somewhat of a black hole when catching the ball in the paint. He does have potential to shoot, and if he can space the floor, rebound and finish effectively, he could be a viable option."NBA Draft Room - July 6th: "Although he’s not a polished offensive player he shows some ability to score with his back to the basket or by facing up and taking his man off the dribble. He’s got a strong frame and a quick first step and shows a lot of promise that he’ll continue to develop on the offensive end."
HashTag Basketball - July 1st: "Oturu became much stronger, which has allowed him to control the paint on both ends of the floor. Along with his strength, Oturu has also improved his footwork. This has given him a more creative post-up game and made him a more effective role man."
NBA Draft Room - May 26th: "Oturu had a breakout sophomore season, scoring the rock at a high clip and continuing to rebound and block shots at an elite level."
Jeremy Woo - SI - May 6th: "Oturu is a powerful athlete, but lacks the ideal size and skill level for an NBA five, and can be somewhat of a black hole when catching the ball in the paint. He’s got some potential to shoot it, and if he can space the floor, rebound and rim-run effectively, he could be a viable option."
Jeff Goodman - Stadium - May 6th: "Oturu made a huge jump and had a heck of a season. He’s long, skilled, mobile, and has a high ceiling. Can score inside and out. "
Rob Dauster - NBC Sports - Apr. 13th: "He doesn’t have the greatest feel for the game, and he’s something of a blackhole when he does get the ball in his hands, but he has shown off a bit of three-point range and is actually able to put the ball on the floor and make things happen off the bounce."
