BREAKING: Osasu Osaghae (Florida International) Selected as 2020 Professional Basketball Combine Honoree

BREAKING: Osasu Osaghae (Florida International) has been selected as a 2020 Professional Basketball Combine honoree. In four seasons at FIU, the Miami native accumulated 767 points, 616 rebounds, 27 assists, 53 steals, 249 blocks, and 9.1 win-shares.
Osaghae made his mark as, perhaps, the best rim-protector in the country, finishing his senior campaign as the nation's leader in blocked shots, blocks/game, and BLK%. The 2019-20 Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year is an absolute force in the paint, making full use of his ~7'3" wingspan to deter shots at the rim.

Osaghae also made encouraging leaps on the offensive side of the ball this season, finishing 3rd in the nation in FG% behind only Udoka Azubuike (Kansas) and fellow 2020 PBC Honoree, Sha'Markus Kennedy (McNeese State). Osaghae saw significant year-over-year upticks in PPG (+4.7), FG% (+7.6%), FT% (+9.1%), and USG% (+3.6%), all of which are promising indicators of continued growth and expansion of his offensive game.

Osaghae, who didn't pick up a basketball until he was 16, has followed a non-traditional path to becoming an NCAA statistical leader and NBA prospect, but his sharp development curve and willingness to put in the work (former walk-on, dropped ~60 lbs. in the months leading to his enrollment at FIU) should be enticing to potential professional suitors.

​We are excited to welcome Osasu Osaghae to the PBC family and look forward to all of his future success in professional basketball!
