Narrowing down 8 NBA draft prospects the Warriors could be ‘zeroing in on’

Steve Kerr said the Warriors are focusing on “seven or eight” top prospects for the 2020 NBA draft.

After an impressive freshman season at USC, Onyeka Okongwu has turned into one of the top rising prospects in the 2020 draft class. Okongwu averaged 16.2 points and 8.6 rebounds in 28 games for the Trojans.

Okongwu is the definition of a lob threat on offense. There isn’t a pass the young Trojan can’t get to, but on the other side of the ball is where he’s special.

The freshman would give Golden State a refined rim protector that can also clog passing lanes like a veteran. Adding Okongwu next to Green would solidify the Golden State’s defensive frontcourt.
