Okorafor was similarly athletically gifted but raw out of high school. Okorafor's rawness was due to starting football late but the scouting reports are very close -- tremendous potential, but further from their ceiling than their peers. Okorafor chose a good school for him to develop at and Lipsey will need to do the same.

Three-sport athlete who excels as a thrower in track and field and is a good high school basketball player. Can get up and dunk at his size. Has played both ways in high school and was looked at as a defensive lineman some early on. Still very raw in his technique.  Needs to be more consistent play to play as well. Offer possibilities at guard and tackle, and has huge upside but needs diligence and development in order to reach that high ceiling.
