One of the bigger frontcourt sleepers in the region, Ekukwai battled foul trouble on Sunday but was still able to show his effectiveness as a rim-runner and interior defender. A native of Uganda returning to Bridgeport Prep with a much-enhanced role from last year, he scored 12 points in the championship game victory while showcasing strong hands with impressive flexibility and vertical pop as a finisher near (and above) the rim. Ekukwai runs the floor well and is an imposing shot-blocker with hints of mobility when stepping out to the perimeter. He also flashed Sunday with an ability to make simple passing decisions from the middle of the floor. With evident tools and having made significant strides in a relatively short time, Ekukwai could wind up looking like a steal for whichever D1 program winds up pulling the trigger on him.
