The college basketball season is in full swing and University of Minnesota center Daniel Oturu is one of the players making a strong impression so far. The Minnesota native has been a double-double machine for his home state Golden Gophers and has flown up draft boards as a result. It would be a huge mistake for the San Antonio Spurs not to have an eye on him.
The Golden Gophers have long been a middle of the pack program and don’t have too many established alumni in the NBA. That could change this year as Oturu continues to grab draft scouts’ attention and makes a name for himself as a lottery prospect.
