Okeke Displayed Steady Growth and Strong Work Ethic Throughout Collegiate Career
ORLANDO – In addition to Chuma Okeke’s multi-dimensional talents, his high character and an omnipresent team-first mindset, the Orlando Magic felt completely comfortable drafting the forward following a serious knee injury because of what he showed between his freshman and sophomore seasons at Auburn University.
The grit, determination and work ethic that Okeke displayed in transforming his body and his all-around game to standout collegiate levels told the Magic all they needed to know about how the 6-foot-8, 230-pounder will attack his recovery from a torn ACL in his left knee.
