New Orleans Pelicans Draft Prospect Isaac Okoro: “My defense can help any team”

Isaac Okoro might end up being the best defensive wing in the 2020 NBA Draft, which should catch the attention of the New Orleans Pelicans.

The Pelicans already have plenty of offense, so might use the draft to address their defense, which was just 20th in the NBA heading into the suspension of play.

The Pels are especially thin at wing, where they really just have Brandon Ingram and Josh Hart, who is a natural shooting guard and often left defending much larger players.

The Pelicans lack physical strength on the wing and could use a couple of guys with some bulk.
