3. Josh Okogie was decent once again
After an inefficient offensive Summer League debut but a fantastic showing on defense, No. 20-overall pick Josh Okogie had an extremely similar game during his second time out.
Okogie once again struggled from the field, shooting just 5-for-15 from the field and 1-for-5 on 3-point attempts, but was once again solid on defense, adding four rebounds, two steals, and one block.
In the second half, Okogie did have a couple of impressive scores in the half-court, jab-stepping his defender and blowing by him to get to the rim. While he clearly still has work to do on his handle, his explosion and finishing ability at the rim is real, and if he focuses more on slashing and cutting and is judicious when it comes to his 3-point attempts, he could very well have an effective rookie campaign on offense, too.
Overall, it was a solid performance from the Wolves. Six players scored in double-figures, and really only Isaiah Cousins, who scored an efficient 15 points in Game One but was 0-for-5 from the field in 17 minutes in Game Two, took a clear step backwards.
