The 6-foot-4-inch Nnaji is rated by ESPN as the eighth-best prospect of the '22 recruiting class and the third-best forward. ESPN's evaluators said in January that Nnaji is a "skilled interior performer delivers efficiently in the paint; interior footwork, utilizes either hand to finish in traffic; emerging face up game; a defensive intimidator, alters shots, initiates the fast break, mobile in transition; an impact prospect in the class of 2022."
