The Minnesota Timberwolves made an interesting selection when they decided to pick Josh Okogie with the 20th overall selection in the 2018 NBA Draft.

Minnesota Timberwolves: Josh Okogie is in a pivotal season.

Okogie, a defense-first wing/forward combo, has had a mixed bag of a career so far, about to enter his fourth season on a one-year contract. From a statistical standpoint, Okogie has not changed much. Over the course of his three NBA seasons, he is averaging seven points three rebounds, and one assist per game with high-level perimeter defense.
