Relatively unknown to most NBA fans, 20-year-old French point guard Elie Okobo was a late riser on NBA draft boards. He gained popularity following a 44-point performance for Pau-Lacq-Orthez where he shot 8 for 11 from 3, leading scouts to view him as a potential strong scoring punch off the bench.
The Phoenix Suns saw enough potential in him to grab him with the first pick of the second round, and he rewarded them with an encouraging stint in the Las Vegas Summer League.
A quick glance at the box scores shows less than stellar shooting percentages throughout the Summer League, although something to be expected for any rookie guard.
