Baba Oladotun

2027 NBA Mock Draft v. 1.0 with @CBSSports Adam Finkelstein

Sam notes the former top-10 recruit has drawn excitement, but says he hasn't done much on the court when surrounded by other good players. Adam points out he grew two inches last year into a 6'10-plus jumbo wing, the kind of prospect a team might take late in the first round and develop. Adam groups him with last class's theoretical high-risk, high-reward types.

Calls Oladotun a 6'10 jumbo wing in the late-bloomer mold who can handle, shoot and defend in space, making him a highly unique prospect. He badly needs to add strength and play through contact, but NBA teams will be intrigued if he produces at Maryland.

Notes the "baby KD" nickname: a 6'10, 205-lb wing with great length who can play multiple positions. He reclassified up a year, has dealt with some injuries and needs weight to create his own shot more efficiently.

Says Oladotun has a lot of fans and real intrigue about his upside, and that he and Suigo give the 2027 class a chance to beat a 2026 center group that felt underwhelming in depth.

Calls Oladotun the most uniquely profiled prospect in the class: a 6'10 small forward who is too big for wings and too mobile for bigs, with a noticeable handle and passing feel. Sees a long development timeline and calls a patient organization like OKC the ideal landing spot.

Calls Oladotun one of the biggest long-term upside swings in the mock: a jumbo wing reportedly near 6'11 with perimeter skill, a smooth deep jumper and the size to shoot over defenders. Still early physically; if his frame fills out, he could be one of the highest-upside wings in the class.

Describes Oladotun as about 6'10 and 200 lbs with a lot of length and unique skills and tools, including finishing and possibly distinctive defensive impact. Calls him a prime candidate to hit the weight room early, with summer work key to a good first college season.
