Okanu brings size, rebounding, and efficient finishing to NIU’s frontcourt
Chinedu Kingsley Okanu is a sturdy 6'7" forward for Northern Illinois who, in the 2021-22 season, averaged 5.6 points and 3.4 rebounds in 28 games while shooting 51.7% from the field. His value goes beyond the box score: he’s a physical, high-motor rebounder who has shown shot-blocking pop and can give a team reliable minutes without needing plays run for him. If you want toughness, interior presence, and a low-drama glue guy, he’s the kind of fit coaches usually love.
