Okoro came to camp ready to work. He’s a tough matchup on the inside even for the most talented frontcourt guys. He is a combo post with bounce off of the floor. Okoro didn’t show ball skill or consistent touch outside of the lane. In that regard, he reminds me of Udoka Azubuike at the same stage.

Okoro is an active power forward who is active around the rim. He lacks polish on his moves around the rim as he traveled twice on the catch. He is big though. When he has angles on the catch around the basket, he will finish.
