Now, I really do mean this as a legitimate question, not just a cut-up.
I've never seen the guy play, so help me out if you can.
I've heard him mentioned several times as a potential Top-10 player in this year's draft. He's listed as 5'10 170 on the USHL site, 6'0 195 on the Des Moines site.
Fourteen points in 11 games in a league that's a step below major junior - not bad, but doesn't seem exceptionally good for a Top-10 prospect. I know it's tougher to score in the USHL than other Jr. "A" leagues, but Vanek in his last USHL year had
91 points in 53 games.
What makes Okposo such a hot prospect? He doesn't seem to have great size (if the USHL site is accurate). He's not lighting it up against inferior competition (relative to MJ).
Opinions?
