Michael Roth | Prep Hoops Scout
One of the most productive players in the 2028 class, few players can match Okoth’s motor, interior scoring, rebounding and overall production. I get fired up when a top nationally ranked prospect competes harder than anybody on the court and that’s usually what Okoth does for Barlett, Alabama Fusion and at Team USA minicamp. With his rebounding, defensive ability and interior scoring, Okoth is very productive as a 16 U player and if he develops his ball handling ability, he will be a complete player on the wing. Very talented prospect who is a consensus top 15 player in the country and already has won Tennessee Division I class 4A Mr Basketball as just a sophomore.

If you don’t know his name by now, you will very soon. DJ just won a state title at Bartlett and is looking for more with the Alabama Fusion EYBL over the summer. The class of 2028 star showed why he is at the top of his class, both in his state and nationally. His athleticism was on display from start to finish, dunking ferociously anytime he was around the rim. He used his length on the defensive end, pressuring the ball, contesting shots at the rim, getting out in passing lanes, and rebounding at a high level. He is a force to be reckoned with and will be for a while.

Okoth was best prospect we saw at the event. Long and slender wing recorded 8 dunks in the win along with MVP honors. He opened up the game by banging in a corner three off the catch. Mixed in several feathery jumpers from the mid-range, but it was his play above the rim that was truly impressive. Caught lobs, got on the offensive glass, and was like watching a dude jump off a trampoline going up and up on slams. Defensively he brings versatility being able to defend multiple spots with his length and athleticism. Competes on that end. He had 23 points in the win.
