2. Josh Okogie, SG — Georgia Tech

Josh Okogie has 3-and-D potential. He shot the 3-ball at 38 percent last year for Georgia Tech. He was able to play in the open floor, space the floor and he has good athleticism with a 7’0″ wingspan.

With his reaching ability, he can create turnovers and finish on the other end of the floor. He would be a good fit for the Thunder for these reasons.

OKC lacked offense coming off of the bench last year and that was another reason for their struggles. The lack of a sixth man hurt them greatly and Okogie could fill that void.

There is no telling the fate of Carmelo Anthony and Paul George this summer, but Okogie would be a good fit regardless based on their need for more bench scoring.

The sixth man on the team is usually a gun slinger, and if the Thunder pick Okogie that’s what they would be getting. Okogie has shot selection issues and he can display bad body language sometimes, but the Thunder will need a scorer with the mentality to put the ball in the basket at all costs.

Okogie averaged 18.2 points and 6.3 rebounds per game last year. With the players the Thunder currently have, Okogie would be a good fit for the team.
