It’s not easy finding a shutdown defender on the wing and Isaac Okoro could end up being an option for teams that have a lottery pick.

Standing at 6-foot-6, Okoro isn’t the tallest wing out there but he has a wingspan that is 6-foot-9 inches in length. Additionally, he has the strength to play multiple positions on the wing and has the weight to get it done— weighing in at 225 pounds.

The athleticism Okoro brings to the table is evident and it could jump off the page when the results from the NBA Scouting Combine come out. When coupled with his film on defense from Auburn, there will be real intrigue.

For a rebuilding team, having a wing that can switch and guard multiple positions with offensive upside is an effective option.
