Felix Okpara finishes defeat with 12 points

Okpara is available for Friday’s game, but that doesn’t guarantee he’ll see action. The rookie should only be rostered in dynasty leagues.

Okpara’s availability does not affect fantasy basketball or the Wizards’ rotation, as Anthony Davis, Alex Sarr and Deandre Ayton are all available to play.

The rookie out of Tennessee logged 20 minutes in his first summer league outing. He didn’t contribute much in the box score, but he was effective on the offensive glass. Okpara should continue to get more opportunities as summer league progresses.

Okpara played two seasons at Tennessee after playing the first two seasons of his college career at Ohio State. As a senior, the 6-foot-10 post player averaged 8.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game while shooting 59.7 percent from the field and 63.5 percent from the foul line. An athletic defender, Okpara is most effective as a rim protector, while the offensive skill set requires some polish. The Wizards traded picks 51 and 60 to add Okpara. With Alex Sarr and Anthony Davis there, Okpara will likely compete with Tristan Vukcevic for backup minutes down low. However, Trae Young is one of the best lob passers in the league, which could work well for Okpara.
