The other star on the German Team. Okulaja is one of the top power forwards in Europe. He has the perfect, fundamental inside game, a great attitude and a great body. He is a very good rebounder, very aggressive to the basket, and he has developed a good shooting touch over the years. He’s now has a deadly jump shot from four or five meters and he can also hit the three-point shoot with consistency. He’s not very tall but he has long arms and he’s a very good defensive player that has benefited from a strong experience in the Euroleague with top-level teams. With Nowitzki, he is the key-player for his NT. When he played in North Carolina, he was on the same team as two NBA All-Stars Vince Carter and Antawn Jamison. |
