Isaac Okoro – Auburn – Wing – 19 – 6-foot-6
Isaac Okoro’s statistics may not wow at 12.4 points and 4.4 rebounds per game, but what he does off the box score has turned him into a lottery draft pick. Bruce Pearl’s freshman brings a sense of intensity to the court with a motor that doesn’t turn off.
Although Okoro is a very limited shooter, he’s the player you want with the ball in his hands at the end of the game. Okoro had a knack for theatrics for the Tigers. Against the Kentucky Wildcats, the freshman drilled a game-winning three. Once he gets downhill, Okoro can finish at the rim with power and bounce.
On defense, Okoro is a problem. The Auburn product projects to be a gritty defender at the next level. His blend of high-level basketball IQ, hands and strength makes him a tough matchup anywhere on defense.

In the future, Okoro could potentially mirror Andre Iguodala’s role for Kerr in Golden State.
