The day has arrived for the 2020 NBA Draft and former Auburn star Isaac Okoro will finally find out what his near future will hold.
The one-and-done player from the 2019-20 Tigers has been ranked as one of the top 10 prospects in this year’s draft but, in the final mock draft by USA TODAY Sports, Okoro falls out of the top 10 and is slotted to go at No. 12 to the Sacramento Kings.
The wing fell from a top-8 pick but is still a coveted prospect, sporting athleticism and a wingspan that could make him an elite defender. His offense needs work, but he’d have time to develop with a mediocre team.
As a freshman, Okoro finished second on the Tigers in both points (12.9) and rebounds (4.4) while regularly defending the opposing team’s best offensive player.
The NBA Draft starts at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday night and airs on ESPN.
