Timberwolves rookie Josh Okogie got the first start of his NBA career, filling in for Jimmy Butler who was held out due to rest.
It wasn’t a perfect game by any means for the 20th pick in the 2018 draft, but Okogie showed flashes of why he was a first-round pick and the potential that he has. Okogie finished the game with six points, five rebounds, two assists and a steal in 28 minutes and 32 seconds. He would have seen the floor more, but he had five fouls.
Not a bad opening start for the rookie.
