We’ve only seen the Timberwolves’ first-round pick appear in five games, but my goodness has he been impressive.
Okogie was a relatively unknown prospect heading into the draft ouf of Georgia Tech. He climbed rankings and mock drafts after the combine and now we’re seeing why. His energy is off the charts. If I'm in marketing of Red Bull or 5 Hour Energy, I'm finding out how to sponsor him.
Defensively, he looks like he’s been defending NBA-caliber players for a half decade. While his offense still has a bit to go (34.5% from field, 21.7% from deep), he has the athleticism to make plays like the ones below at any moment (NSFW)
Dude.
