2. Isaac Okoro – Auburn
Isaac Okoro is another freshman sensation with Nigerian roots, who is considered among the top draft prospects for 2020. After the regular season in which he averaged 13 points and four rebounds, Okoro was named to the All-SEC Second-Team, SEC All-Freshman Team, and the SEC All-Defensive Team by the league’s coaches.
He’s arguably the best defender in the draft and that’s where he’ll likely make his impact at the next level immediately. Once he polishes his offensive repertoire, there’s no question he’ll be a true difference-maker at the next level.
The defensive skills coupled with the rebounding efficiency will remind NBA fans of Robert Covington, another 3-and-D role player who can impact a game with his high basketball IQ.
