In Josh Okogie, the Minnesota Timberwolves have found an athletic high-flyer who plays above the rim.
A bit of a diamond in the rough at the No. 20 pick in June’s draft, the raw rookie guard entered the draft after two solid years at Georgia Tech where he was named to the ACC All-Freshman Team and a Third Team 2017-18 All-ACC selection as a sophomore.
Combined with Jimmy Butler‘s trade to Philadelphia and on-and-off injuries to Andrew Wiggins, Jeff Teague, and Derrick Rose, some minutes have opened up and when given the chance, Okogie has shown plenty of flashes of ability.
