Daniel Oturu should become first Gophers basketball player drafted since 2004
Former Gophers and Cretin-Derham Hall star center Daniel Oturu could be a late first- or early second-round pick.Daniel Oturu was nearly 5 years old when Gophers forward Kris Humphries was chosen by the Jazz with the 14th pick of the 2004 NBA draft.
More than 16 years later, Oturu is all grown up as a promising 6-10, 240-pound prospect — and he is expected to hear his name called Wednesday night, which would end the Gophers’ drought of not having a player drafted since Humphries.
