Meet The Hoopers: Daniel Oturu And Gabe Kalscheur

Basketball players are almost always judged on ability alone: how well they can pass, dribble, and shoot or how high they can jump. Seldom does anyone really ever see what they are like off the court, in their element, talking about the things they enjoy.

Here’s a glimpse inside the favorite things of two high school ballers. Meet Cretin-Derham Hall (MN) junior center Daniel Oturu and DeLaSalle (MN) junior wing Gabe Kalscheur.

In late January, both led their teams to victory at the Breakdown USA Border Battle, but after Oturu (30 points) and Kalscheur (25 points) lit it up, they took some time to talk about the things they enjoy when they aren’t playing ball.
