"One of the most elite HS players," NBA Trainer Chris Brickley on Baba Oladotun

NBA trainer Chris Brickley shared a practice video of Baba Oladotun on Monday. The small forward worked on shots from beyond the arc, and his game inside the paint.

"@babatheballer10 is one of the most elite HS players I’ve gotten to really lock in with over the years. #1 player in the Class of 2027," Brickley captioned. "Skillset continues to sharpen up, as you can see in the first clip he listens (first cut wasn’t game speed, but then once I said something he raised up game speed).

"Can score at all 3 levels! 6’9‼️ Still only 16‼️ S/O his father Ibrahim for believing in me and also at the same time has a great understanding of the game 🏁🏁 🎬 @nextsubject."

Oladotun still has two years to decide on his collegiate career. He has offers from several programs, including the UCLA Bruins, Maryland Terrapins, Howard Bison, Bryant Bulldogs and Kentucky Wildcats, among others.
