5. Cleveland Cavaliers – Isaac Okoro, F, Auburn

The Cleveland Cavaliers believe that they are set in the backcourt, or at least are set up for that potential with the trio of Collin Sexton, Darius Garland, and Kevin Porter Jr. The team’s frontcourt, however, is filled with much more uncertainty. And that’s not even considering that the team could eventually move Kevin Love.

Adding a prospect like Isaac Okoro could go a long way in bringing some sort of stability to the team’s wing position. Okoro has some improvement and development to do on the offensive side of the ball, but where he lacks on the offensive end he makes up defensively. At 6-foot-6, Okoro has the potential to be a great defender.

If he can develop a consistent 3-point shot – he only shot 29 percent from deep during his freshman season at Auburn – there’s a chance that he could have a higher ceiling than many are expecting from him. However, that’s a big question at his point. That still shouldn’t keep him from being a top 7 pick in the 2020 NBA Draft.
