For Blue Devil fans, seeing freshman Jahlil Okafor palm a basketball away from the reach of opposing defenders became the norm in just a matter of games.
But just how big were the 6-foot-11 center's hands?
With the NBA draft slowly approaching, Okafor used his time in the Bleacher Report studio to show off just why a basketball looked more like a tennis ball in the Chicago native's hands this season.
Okafor fit not one, not two, not three, but 13—yes, 13—tennis balls in his right palm.
Of course, this isn't the first time the former Duke standout's hands have been in the spotlight. A photo of Okafor palming a basketball in February went viral, showing the center's hands to be much larger than a regulation-sized basketball, which measures 29.5 inches in circumference.
Okafor will come a little closer to finding out his future home tonight when the NBA draft lottery is held to determine the order for the first 14 draft picks of the 2015 NBA draft. With his huge palms and array of post moves on the block, Okafor is believed to be one of the top few picks in the draft.
