The Minnesota Timberwolves improved their roster on Thursday night, adding Georgia Tech’s Josh Okogie in the first round of the NBA Draft and Ohio State forward Keita Bates-Diop in the second.
We passed along our rapid thoughts on both picks in real-time; be sure to check out the write-ups in their entirety, but I’d also like to put a couple of key observations here before getting into what other sites said about Okogie prior to the draft. A post on Bates-Diop will be coming soon.
Okogie was selected at pick No. 20. Here was our reaction, including the below excerpt:
Okogie, who played two years at Georgia Tech, is a 6-foot-5 shooting guard with a massive 7-foot wingspan.
