Summit League Basketball: Ranking of 25 best players from last decade (2013-23)

15. Obi Emegano

Emegano is a very talented 6’3 wing originally from Edmond, Oklahoma who actually had two separate stints in the Summit League. His college career began back in 2011 at Western Illinois, though he’d spend just a year with the Leathernecks before transferring to Oral Roberts. After sitting out a season, he’d become a major weapon for the Golden Eagles, though they were still in the Southland for his first year on the court.

In remaining consistent with our series, we’re only looking at Emegano’s upperclassman seasons, but they included some monster numbers. He was good for 18.3 points a game in a junior year where Oral Roberts finished 3rd in their first year back in the Summit. While the program struggled the following season, Emegano put on a show, averaging 23.1 points and 5.1 rebounds per game and emerging as an elite backcourt player for this program, with a slew of great performances.

He’d received First Team All-Summit honors for those two years back in the conference and was by far the league’s top scorer as a senior. Emegano put up impressive sheer numbers in those two seasons and was one of the national leaders in free throws in each of those final seasons. This certainly wasn’t Oral Roberts’ most successful stretch in recent memory, but Emegano made those teams worth watching and was an electric athlete.
