is an offensive juggernaut when he gets going. He loves to shoot the rock and accomplishes it in advanced ways. He is not afraid to cross up defenders and take two dribble pull-ups. Okehi can take tough step-backs and side steps, even when heavily contested, and combines that with shooting off the catch that solidifies his shooting proficiency. When in a 1 v 1 scenario? Watch out. Okehi can also find open shooters when he gets a head of steam and gets the ball to the open man fast. He also finds big men on dump-offs and cuts to the rim. The offense he provides is so potent, that programs should make him a priority immediately.

Okehi, one of Connecticut’s top lead guards, recently wrapped up an All-NEPSAC season at Taft. An impressive creator with the ball in his hands, Okehi has terrific floor vision and has shown the ability to make high level decisions out of ball screen actions. He’s crafty with the bounce, does a good job of getting into soft spots of the defense, and has an array of finishing moves around the rim, including a high level floater that he uses to finish over bigger defenders in the paint. He’s a capable shooter, particularly off the dribble. Defensively, he does a good job of guarding the ball in space and moves well laterally to keep opponents out of the paint.
