Isaac Okoro, F, Auburn
This 19-year-old 6-foot-6 shooting guard out of Auburn is another one of those being compared to guys like Jimmy Butler or a Kawhi Leonard. He is an excellent perimeter defender. Throughout the season, he has been used to guard the best player on the opposing team.
Also, Okoro has athleticism and quickness. He is special. I observed one of his chase-down blocks, and I was instantly impressed. It reminded me of a LeBron James type of play. On offense, he is like a smaller version of Ben Simmons, when he drives to the hole hard. He is intelligent, which helps him on the defensive side. As a passer, he is fantastic to watch.
On offense, his shooting percentage is low. On top of that, his free-throw shooting could use work. This young man will need a coach that can help him grow. Although from what we hear, Isaac Okoro has a strong work ethic. Coaches and teammates will both adore.
