Femi Odukale brings defense, toughness, and glue-guy value for Minnesota
In the 2024-25 season, Femi Odukale was a steady two-way guard for Minnesota, averaging 6.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.1 blocks while starting 30 of 32 games[7]. His biggest differentiators are the defensive playmaking and positional versatility: he led the Gophers in steals and blocks, and his late-season outbursts showed he can pop offensively when needed, including a 22-point game vs. Illinois[7][12]. If a team wants a high-motor veteran who defends, rebounds, and does the dirty work, he fits; if it needs a pure shot-creator, that’s not his lane[8][9].
