14p 10r 1a 2b 3s vs Blair

-Even in a rollercoaster shooting game by his standards, Oyekan turned in a double-double performance off of willpower by rebounding most of his misses to score in the paint or draw FTs. Oyekan started things off with a post feed over the top to feed his big, had an exposive off-ball cut down the middle of the floor for a double-clutch bucket through the contact, face cut to the rim off the BLOB for the bucket, and was super impactful defensively throughout the game. Although he has a slight frame, the motor and aggressive play at the defensive end of the floor really stand out as a defender that made several “not on my watch” plays. He high-pointed a block off his back heels in transition, recovered to punch a layup attempt from behind after he got hit by a screen, swiped a shot attempt on the way up to ignite a fastbreak headed the other way, and forced several turnovers by forcing his matchup to tightline the sideline or baseline without committing a block foul. The blend of speed, quickness, and an aggressive style of play bode well for the long term outcomes for a player that has grinded his way into our top 15 and should continue to climb in our next rankings update.
