Jahlil Okafor Steals Show at Chicago Elite Classic
Posted Dec 5, 2012
Chicago’s best was on full display at the inaugural Chicago Elite Classic and 2014 No. 1 rated prospect Jahlil Okafor who gave fans their money’s worth. The 6-10 center possesses the hands, feet and touch of a guard, and the body-type to punish any defender who tries to play him one-on-one in the post. Okafor, who has Illinois, Kentucky, Duke, Michigan State, Ohio State, North Carolina and every other high-major program hot on his trail, finished the game with 34 points, 9 rebounds and 4 steals.
