10p 7r 1s 1b vs Penn Charter

-Ekukwai stood out in both games that I saw this weekend as a physical forward prospect that plays his role to perfection within Bridgeport’s offensive and defensive schemes. The Ugandan native is new to the game (has only played for the last year) but uses his athletic talents to block shots, run the floor, rebound the basketball, and finish above the rim with authority. With good positional size and a motor that always runs hot, Ekukwai has pretty impressive spatial awareness and understands where he needs to be at the defensive end of the floor to contest shots or deter drivers from attacking the paint. The finishing craft and footwork around the basket are still a work in progress but the motor and offensive rebounding ability make up for it as he is very unselfish and is always looking to pass to an open shooter if he doesn’t have a good finishing angle. Intriguing name for LM/MM coaches to track.
