Golden State Warriors NBA Draft: 3 sleeper options to consider
By Tony Pesta
3. Isaac Okoro
A muscular 6’5″ wing from Auburn, Isaac Okoro has the ideal build for the Golden State Warriors.
The Warriors are looking to add more perimeter depth to their lineup. Specifically, they need versatile players that can defend multiple positions and create shots for themselves. This is what makes Okoro such an interesting fit.
During his freshman season at Aubrun, Okoro proved to be a skilled defender and was named to the SEC All-Defensive Team. He has a high IQ on this end of the floor and is a strong enough athlete to disrupt opposing ball handlers. Okoro can develop into an elite defender with the Dubs.
In addition to defense, Okoro was a consistent finisher around the rim. He averaged 12.8 points on 51.2 percent shooting from the floor. However, he needs to improve drastically from the 3-point line, hitting less than 30 percent of his attempts.
