Okoro is able to impact games without scoring. Believe his jumper will improve due to his work ethic. He’ll improve our defense. A terrific talent. Glad the organization wants to take defending seriously. #cavs

Cleveland is getting a stud in Isaac Okoro.
A lot of people focus on his defense and immediately translatable skills, but Okoro has an insanely high ceiling. His work ethic + the skills he already has could one day make him the best player from this draft.pic.twitter.com/3IU4w5sIyH

Side note: Bruce Pearl appears to have given an interview on the side of the road.
Is Bruce Pearl stranded on a highway
— Pablo S. Torre (@PabloTorre) November 19, 2020
Sources (me) can confirm, this was done on the side of the highway https://t.co/fq3fZukEyR

Just kidding, it was a parking lot. Still hilarious.
Breaking news: Bruce Pearl tells CBS Sports he did his ESPN hit on Isaac Okoro in a parking lot of an Ingles grocery store outside LaGrange, Georgia, near the border of Alabama.
"No green room for BP," Pearl said.

War Eagle! If anyone asks we have all been lifelong Cavalier fans (and Magic fans too). Congratulations Isaac!
