What I have seen from watching Okafor.

Great athleticism.
He gets up and down the floor pretty well for a big man. So that could help stay with the up tempo pace next season.
He needs a couple of more options on his team as teams sink on him in the post. He will be more dominant next season when teams have to guard all 5 on the floor for Duke and not double or triple Okafor.
He passes well. So if teams decide to sink on him next season he can pass to open shooters.

He needs to improve on his low post moves. He has been called for one hook and one elbow. He has gotten away with a couple of obvious hooks as well. He needs to keep his elbows low and use them to get around defenders not his arm.

He sat out most of the 2nd half.

Great win for Jahlil and Whitney Young. Oak Hill was ranked #5 in the nation.
