Cavs: Isaac Okoro could be poised for Year 2 leap, as team emphasizes

Last season, Isaac Okoro had his ups and downs, objectively, in his rookie campaign for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

On the year, he didn’t necessarily tear it up game-to-game for Cleveland, but with the COVID-19-affected season and with then being the quickest turnaround from the draft to the start of the year in NBA history, expectations had to have been tempered.

One would’ve liked to have seen him have more than 9.6 points per outing in 32.4 minutes per appearance, sure.

That said, Okoro had the toughest defensive workload on the team on the year, and he showed steady progress on that end, and having guys such as Jarrett Allen again and 2021 #3 overall pick Evan Mobley should aid Okoro.
