Okoro will absolutely be a lottery pick barring major injury


Disagree right now. He is a great defender and has a nose for the ball. He is very athletic, but lacks shooting touch. Not a good FT shooter right now either. He has been impressive driving to the basket, but attempted several against UF and they shut him down. Still time for improvement this year, but as of right now, he will gain more by waiting until his weaknesses improve. I think he needs to grow a bit more with his game. Seems he's just tapping in to his potential right now.

Matisse Thybulle was taken 20th last year. Okoro is, in my view, and in the view of many scouts, a similar but highly upgraded version. I'd be astonished if he wasn't a lottery pick and I expect him to go top 10.

He’s projected lottery in about every draft projection out there. I’m not sure what there is to disagree with.

Also people overrate how good of a shooter these guys need to be going into the NBA. They’ll teach him how to shoot better when he gets there.
