Wing/Forward. Isaac Okoro. player. 29. Scouting Report. Auburn. 11. Pick Analysis

Isaac Okoro is a top-ten talent. He can score inside, defend any position on the floor, facilitate at a high level, and has the clutch gene. Allowing Gregg Popovich to select him would be a mistake every other NBA team.

The Spurs would be getting a really good defensive player — one that could be the best in this class in that particular trait. I firmly believe that if Okoro was even remotely a consistent three-point shooter, he would be the first overall selection.

Okoro is one of the most interesting players in this draft class in terms of where he might land. While he may end up in a poor situation (see: New York Knicks), San Antonio is definitely on the upper end of the spectrum (and that goes for most any prospect).
