Shootaround Report | Okogie’s Rising Star, Randy Wittman’s Involvement

The Wolves are preparing for a very important game against the Grizzlies on Wednesday night, but on Tuesday evening they were met with a bit of happy news when it was announced that Josh Okogie will be participating in the Rising Stars Challenge at All-Star weekend.

That’s a significant accomplishment for Okogie, who has proven to be a rotational NBA player in his rookie year—that’s not something many guys taken in the back half of the first round of the draft can say.

Being a part of All-Star weekend will give Okogie a chance to be around players who he aspires to be like—a valuable experience for a young player.
