Kyle Smith on Ebuka Okorie's NBA Future, Nerd Ball, and Building Stanford Into a Tournament Program

Ebuka Okorie is one of the most exciting freshmen in college basketball and his head coach saw it coming from day one. Stanford's Kyle Smith sits down with EssentiallySports in this exclusive chat, to talk about what he saw in Okorie before anyone else was paying attention, why a 68-inch wingspan changes the conversation about his size, and what the Cardinal Rules for Point Guards that he handed Okorie actually say. He also pulls back the curtain on Nerd Ball, the analytics-driven coaching philosophy he's been running since before Moneyball was even a book, and what he's building at Stanford over the next few years. #Basketball #EbukaOkorie #KyleSmith #EssentiallySports
