America East DPOY with elite rim protection and efficient finishing
Okeke is a **paint anchor** who changed games for Albany in the 2025-26 season, earning America East Defensive Player of the Year after leading the conference in blocks and ranking among the nation’s best rim protectors. He pairs that defense with highly efficient scoring around the basket, strong rebounding, and a physical, high-motor style that fits winning teams. The knock is limited perimeter offense, but if you need a forward who can protect the rim, finish cleanly, and stabilize the glass, he looks like a clear plug-in fit.
