About Obinna
Expert Analysis
Ari Rosenfeld | Prep Hoops Scout
Considered perhaps the top post prospect in the national junior class, Ekezie was a force in the paint from the opening tip to help Southeastern cruise past West Oaks. The 7-footer nearly reached double-figure rebounds before halftime on his way to a 15-point double-double. He was consistent in his ability to establish inside position and grab whatever hit his hands at the highest point. His offense came mostly by way of dumpoffs but he also hit a smooth jump hook through contact, cashed in consistently at the foul line, and flashed his shooting touch out to the 3-point line. Ekezie’s role is limited with Southeastern’s cadre of talent alongside him but his ability to thrive as a rim-runner and paint protector have him being recruited at the highest levels of the sport.
