After we hopefully land Jerry Deng might AK Okereke from Cornell be a final major piece as roster spot 12, assuming we do not try and land Jamir Watkins or RJ Luis?

Great story for this kid! He had no division 1 offers out of high school and went to Cornell just as a student. Eventually became walk on when a spot opened up and now is a team captain and is even started to generate some NBA rumors. He graduated Cornell in just three years, so he is very smart off the court and a scrappy stat box stuffer on the court. He also seem to be a hard worker, willing to learn, and a really nice kid.

If you put value in Evan Miya AK has a 4.53 BPR rating (compare that with RJ Luis BPR of 5.35 and Jamir Watkins BPR of 3.80)

He was recently followed by Alex Kline on Instagram and here is some more info and highlights about him.

PS. Off topic but it might be of interest Adam Kline is now also following Adam Weinstein on Instagram as well. Could he be coming back into the fold?
