Kid is a lotto.
He's not a great leaper like Acy but his wingspan is 93 inches. His understanding of the game and timing are his strengths. Anyone who has played against a great shot blocker knows how terribly disruptive it can be for shooters. A couple of Warren's corner open shots were in Udoh's area. Even when he is not close, he makes opponents get itchy trigger fingers.
Yea he's basically the same height as Lebron, lol.I totally agree at the college level but a the pro level at 6'9-6'10 he's not going to be that intimidating.
Emeka Okafor has been top 10 in the NBA in blocks per game at 6'9'' or 6'10''... Ekpe should be fine.
Okafor led his team to the NCAA championship. I believe I will hold off crowning Udoh the 2nd coming until Baylor actually does something.
Okafor was surrounded by a batch of pros on UConn. Give Udoh credit for improving the defensive abilities of Baylor.
It's a big thing if you've got a shot blocker with timing, although I wouldn't venture that Udoh is that much better than Longar Longar. Still I think he averaged close to 4 blocks per game at Michigan
Is that 93 inches legit? A 7'9" wingspan could be a NBA pre-draft camp record. For reference, Thabeet's wingspan was measured as 7'6.25".

You don't block shots with your forehead. If that wingspan DFW is claiming for Udoh is close to accurate, his standing reach is probably equivalent to that of an average-proportioned person several inches taller than 6'10".I totally agree at the college level but a the pro level at 6'9-6'10 he's not going to be that intimidating.
