The Timberwolves have more than enough firepower between Karl-Anthony Towns, D’Angelo Russell, and Malik Beasley. The next step in rounding out the rotation with solid defenders and complementary talents. Isaac Okoro profiles as a perfect fit.
While there are legitimate concerns about Okoro’s ability to produce in a professional offense — he’s not much of a shooter, nor a playmaker — his defense on the wing is top-rate. He can shuffle seamlessly between positions and cover a lot of ground on that end of the floor. Defense alone should keep Okoro on the floor.
Offensively, Okoro will need to find ways to leverage his athleticism in creative ways and score around the rim. At 6-foot-6, he’s still young and has plenty of room to grow. The Wolves, in this instance, are a solid fit. The floor will be plenty spaced around him. Russell plays a good set-up man, to boot.
