re: Bruce with Bama's talent

He's 6'8" and 230 at 18 years old with room to put on weight and muscle.

6'8" is on the short side for traditional NBA fours. While atheletic, he wouldn't stand a chance guarding a NBA 3. Right now Okeke's measurements are almost identical to Anthony Bennett's who was probably the most clear tweener prospect in recent memory.

Watch, by the time Okeke is a junior and starting, I wouldn't not be surprised to see Chuma blow up big time and really make this his team.

I agree with this. I loved Okeke's game coming out of high school, and I actually thought he'd start for Auburn by the end of this season. I underestimated McLemore and Spencer though. I think Okeke will be a great college player, but most draft people worry about his position in the NBA. That's why he hasn't appeared on any draft boards despite averaging 15 and 10 in EYBL play. He was listed at 6'7" last summer for team USA, so he's grown some or at least gotten a more favorable measurement.
