I like Deni more as well, but Okoro is the better defender hands down and has a chance to improve his shooting with our coaching staff. Deni's advantages were his playmaking and offensive skills and his defensive liabilities would've always been limited to his athleticism. Yeah I made a joke about Okoro being good at defense. I don't think you read what I typed right. Or maybe I could have been clearer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean Poku is more nutty, but if we can trade up for Okongwu I'd do it as well. '21 top 7 protected 1st + '22 Bucks 1st? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 He will start very quickly for us. He’s got NBA athleticism and the frame to play right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be starting for us this season. Sexton/KPJ/Okoro/Love/Drummond. Defense, shooting, playmaking, lack of passing ability outside of Love, we'll be golden for a top 5 pick again. Too bad we couldn't get an adequate defender that can pass and be a playmaker from the SF position like Deni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QBIso Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Okoro is a freaking stud. He was my #3 overall player in the class. Floor of Iguodala, ceiling of Kawhi. We’re gonna absolutely love him. Best defensive player I can ever remember coming out of college. Absolute lockdown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QBIso Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Also, Okoro is hella versatile. He can defend 1-4. I don’t care what position he plays. He’s able to match up against pretty much anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QBIso Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Now let’s swing a trade for another pick and get Obi or Deni. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kawhi had a ridiculous 7'3 wingspan with his 6'7 height... so I don't think quite Kawhi level, but I would put him at Butler level. More of a hard nosed grinder that gets things doen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the perfect wing player the Cavs need with a bunch of defensive liabilities on the floor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QBIso Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Okoro is a Cleveland kind of guy. Hard-nosed defensive dude that works his nuts off. Zero chance he busts. He’ll at least be a great defender that excels running in transition. Underrated attribute: Ball handling and passing. He is good on offense in every way other than shooting. Hopefully that comes around. I have a feeling it will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
