NBA shows Wolves rookie Josh Okogie an odd change of pace

LOS ANGELES – After his first taste of NBA action Saturday, Josh Okogie had an unusual observation you don’t hear often from rookies.

“In college everything is fast, fast, fast,” Okogie said. “But here everything is so slow.”

You might think it would be the other way around, considering the NBA has the world’s elite players. The Timberwolves first-round draft pick tried to clarify what he meant.

“It’s not really how fast you go but it’s just how precise and how accurate you can make decisions,” said Okogie, who had 10 points in the victory over the Warriors.
