Michael Anekwe is a high-upside, defense-first forward with a long frame and Nigerian roots
Anekwe profiles as a developmental forward whose value starts with size, mobility, and a team-first background; Lafayette noted he began playing at age 12 in Lagos, and he has been used sparingly, appearing in 10 games as a sophomore while logging just one made field goal, so the raw numbers are limited. His differentiator is upside: a 6-6 to 6-7 wing/forward build with room to grow, plus the kind of late-blooming pathway that suggests coachability and untapped upside. If you want a low-usage, growth-oriented piece rather than an immediate scorer, he fits that mold.
