Gophers center Daniel Oturu plans to enter the NBA Draft, according to ESPN. The sophomore big man averaged 20.1 points and 11.3 rebounds this season. Oturu also ranked No. 19 nationally with 76 total blocks. He quickly solidified himself as one of the most dynamic and efficient low-post players in college basketball.
Many current mock drafts have Oturu slotted in the first round of June’s draft. If he is picked, Oturu would become the program’s first NBA selection since Kris Humphries in 2004.
