Sorry, another insider article. This one with Bilas' full season preview. Quite a long piece and a good read if you have insider. Here is his take on Ochefu, as part of "Six things you should know about the 2015-16 season":

5. Villanova's Daniel Ochefu will make you love basketball
If you can take your eyes off of Jay Wright's suits and pocket squares, which put Rece Davis' to shame, keep your eyes on Daniel Ochefu. Simply put, he may very well be the hardest worker in college basketball. His rebound percentage was fifth in the country. When the Wildcats when to a four-guard lineup, he was left to do all of the dirty work. It's what made Villanova a top-5 team. His defensive rating was eighth in the nation and he's led the Big East in defensive rating in each of the last two seasons. He shot 64.4 percent from the field to lead the conference. He was second in the conference in PER and led the Big East in win shares per 40 minutes. Ochefu is a hard-hat-wearing, lunch-pail-carrying "I-gotta-go-to-work" beast.

If only Jay could find a decent big every once in a while ;)
