Position: C
Height: 6'10"
Weight: 240
Pro Comparison: Bobby Portis
Scouting Report: One of the most productive prospects in the draft, Daniel Oturu overpowered opponents inside while extending his scoring arsenal out to the arc. He did it from all three levels this season, working as a finisher, post scorer, shooter and driver past closeouts.
Paul George, SF: $34.2M (2022)
Kawhi Leonard, SF: $34.4M (2022)
Patrick Beverley, PG: $13.3M (2022)

Daniel Oturu, C
Marcus Morris Sr., PF: UFA
Montrezl Harrell, PF: UFA
JaMychal Green, PF: Player option
Patrick Patterson, PF: UFA
Reggie Jackson, PG: UFA
Johnathan Motley, PF: RFA
Joakim Noah, C: UFA
The Clippers should once again be a top contender in 2020-21 but there are significant question marks in the frontcourt with Montrezl Harrell and Marcus Morris becoming free agents.
Oturu provides some insurance as a proven rebounder and shot-blocker who could earn a spot in the rotation next season alongside Ivica Zubac.
