UNC transfer Okonkwo swats away six shots, puts up another double-double in Great Britain win

If any player could threaten at least one of Brendan Haywood’s school blocked-shot records, incoming junior transfer James Okonkwo might be the guy. While producing his third double-double in four games at the FIBA European Championships Division B, the big man who is transferring from West Virginia to Carolina swatted away six shots in Great Britain’s 57–54 victory Tuesday over Hungary at KRC Kale arena in Skopje, North Macedonia.
