The Minnesota Timberwolves didn’t know exactly what they were getting when they selected Josh Okogie with the 20th overall pick out of Georgia Tech, but he did not disappoint in his rookie season.
The six-foot-four-inch guard burst onto the NBA scene as a fearsome backcourt defender with his block on a James Harden stepback becoming the defining highlight of his rookie season.
Heading into his second season, Okogie told Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic that he expects big things in his career, but he knows there is a lot of work to do to make that happen:
“My goal is to be the best two-way player in the NBA at some point,” said Okogie.
