UNDERDOG
NBA ROLE: ATHLETIC, defensive WING
Selected 5th in 2020, Isaac Okoro is a varied defender: disciplined v. multiple positions, understands positioning and how to frustrate opponents without getting too overzealous; great athlete w/ skill as a finisher in transition - powerful build for his position, uses body well to attack angles & score (cuts well, uses baseline to his advantage); play style of someone who’ll eventually live at the FT line - able to draw contact; below the rim finishing is coming along, though a few go-to Js & runners would expedite development; 3-pt. game will dictate early point production - Okoro’s still improving from downtown, glimpses of a future 38%+ shooter; quick burst off the dribble, can cross and get to the cup without doing too much; able to handle PnR playmaking down the line? - Okoro can hit the open man, needs to prove responsible as a secondary decision-maker; hidden talent to unlock? - Okoro fits in as a perpetual X-Factor w/ an opportunity for growth: real potential alongside Jarrett Allen, Evan Mobley, Donovan Mitchell & Darius Garland
