Rebounding Anchor with International Grit
The Nigerian-born center has carved out a solid college career as a reliable rebounder and defensive presence. At SIUE (2015-16), Makanjuola led the team with 5.5 rebounds per game, showcasing the glass-cleaning consistency that defines his game. Originally from Nigeria, he brought impressive athleticism and shot-blocking instincts (3.0 blocks in his prep senior year) to the college level. While his scoring remains modest, his offensive rebounding prowess and willingness to draw charges make him a gritty, high-motor contributor—ideal for teams prioritizing interior toughness and effort-based play over offensive firepower.
