Ihekwaba is a strong physical presence at the center position as he likes to seek contact when in the painted area making smaller defenders look silly against him. Once he makes his mind up to put his back against the basket it’s almost an automatic basket for him as he just overpowers defenders and goes straight up for the two-handed slam. On the defensive end, he is a force to be reckoned with. His timing and instincts to block shots are something offensive players think twice about before looking to challenge him.
