After entering the summer circuit as a relatively unknown prospect despite impressive NBA bloodlines,
Aziz Olajuwon has proven himself as one of the most underrated prospects in the Class of 2026 after a strong week at the NBPA Top 100 Camp.
Olajuwon was the fourth-leading scorer at the event, averaging 20.6 points and 5.4 rebounds per contest while shooting 56.2 percent from the field to guide Team Johnson to a 5-0 record.
During his junior season at
Clements (Sugar Land, Texas), Olajuwon led his team in scoring and rebounding with averages of 19.9 points, 9.0 rebounds and 2.4 assists per contest. The Rangers finished with a record of 19-12 after losing in the first round of the Conference 6A Division 2 state tournament.

In 11 games of Nike EYBL action this summer, Aziz is averaging 13.1 points and 4.6 rebounds per contest for Team JL3, which has a record of 5-6 on the circuit.
Although his recruitment has yet to take off in a major way, the
6-foot-6 wing is expected to see plenty of offers pour in over the
coming months. He recently received his first three offers from Sam
Houston, UT-Arlington and Virginia Tech on June 9.
Currently regarded as the No. 184 prospect in the Class of 2026 by
On3, Olajuwon is due for a major bump in the rankings prior to the start of his senior season.
His father Hakeem Olajuwon was a 12-time All-Star, two-time NBA Finals MVP and the 1993-94 NBA MVP. He was enshrined in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2008.
