Isaac Okoro is going to be an impact defender for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
I was a big fan of the Cleveland Cavaliers selecting Auburn wing Isaac Okoro fifth overall in the 2020 NBA Draft.
Okoro looks to be a ready-made defender, and with the Cavs having needed to address that on the wing, in particular, given Cedi Osman’s woes against starting-caliber 3’s, that was a wise pick. Okoro, who is a rock solid 6-foot-6 and 225 pounds, could seemingly be the starting 3 pretty early on, even with such a quick turnaround from the draft to the upcoming season.
