Scouting Report:

​

Tope Arikawe is a very interesting prospect. A very strong 6’8” Forward, Tope has the ability to bang in the paint on both ends and score around the rim. Was a very highly sought after Junior College prospect at JUCO power Panola Community College. He then went to NCAA Division 1, North Texas where he played a good role on a solid team. He has all the tools to become better and better. He holds a Nigerian passport making him a Cotonou prospect. Tope will blossom in a European system. We look for big things from Tope going forward as a pro!
