NBA Draft: Timberwolves add toughness, select Josh Okogie at No. 20

There were plenty of scenarios for the Minnesota Timberwolves at No. 20 of the 2018 NBA Draft, and they chose the path of least resistence: staying put and selecting whom they deemed to be the best player on teh board.

Josh Okogie, a shooting guard from Georgia Tech, is not a name that has been talked about much surrounding the Timberwolves, and the majority of mock drafts had him going later in the first round.

As the draft got to the mid-teens, the likes of Zhaire Smith, Donte DiVincenzo, Lonnie Walker, and Kevin Huerter were all still on the board, and it seemed like at least one of the four would remain at No.
