Highlights
Scouting Report (via Scout.com)
Raw but possessing great promise, Uyaelumno runs the floor well and is a huge, true center. He blocks shots, gets ahead on the break for dunks and rebounds his area on the defensive glass. He has a long way to go in terms of post scoring, but he does possess tools.
