JOSH OKOGIE (PHX)

UNDERDOG

NBA ROLE: DEFENSIVE-MINDED WING

The 20th pick in 2018, Josh Okogie is a defensive wing w/ excellent length, anticipation & intangibles; wrecking ball going to the cup - uses strength to create contact, is learning to finish better below the rim; instinctive shot blocker, plays passing lanes well - disruptive, sequence defender; plays aggressively, needs to maintain full control of time & possessions; good rebounder, always looking to come down with tips or boards to start the break; shot creating/ ball-handling could set him apart - Okogie likes to get into own looks or set up teammates; needs to learn intricacies of movement, correctly utilizing scoring w/ athleticism; not a great long-distance shooter but has gotten more accustomed to (spot up) elbow & corner treys; rotation player in Phoenix: Okogie’s energy frequently yields great returns
