I don't watch enough NBA nor pay attention to the draft enough to make a determination.

When I look at him and Chuma he doesn't seem like near the player Chuma is at this point in time. I realize he is younger with less experience. A healthy Chuma was a top 10 lock IMO.

I heard this draft wasn't deep so I'd assume that is helping him also. Other than a consistent shot I can't imagine he won't find success at the next level. I'd love to see him stay another year, but having a kid go early in the draft will help with recruiting.

Chuma was certainly a more complete player at this time last year.. but for raw potential Okoro is much more enticing.

Elite perimeter defense comes at a huge premium in the NBA right now. And when you can get that plus the playmaking ability Okoro has shown flashes of already you're onto something rare.

It’s the defense. He can switch onto 1-4 and some 5s. If the shot comes along he could be the next Kawhi

He's not as polished offensively, but his athleticism and upside are way beyond what I think Chuma has.
