This is what I came for. This is the culture Cleveland needs.

And Jimmy Butler didn’t attempt a 3 as a freshman.
Kawhi shot 20% from 3 as a freshman. Okoro’s shot will be fine.

This will not help our stagnant offense when we go through those 5-6 minute droughts! No inside scorers or no players who can consistently hit from outside!

Role player on a team full of role players. I hope I'm wrong but it is what it is.

Can someone tell me the last lottery guard who shot sub 30% from 3 and sub 70% from the line who panned out?

The complainers always come out but our defense is putrid and we just got the best defender in the draft.

There's just one super glaring issue with your analysis and it's the free throw shooting which is a direct correlation with cieling as a shooter.
Both of those players were 75%+ free throw shooters.
So you're just likely very wrong.

He's not really a guard. He can guard 1-3, so he can play with any combo of our backcourt.

Jaylen Brown is the first one that comes to mind

Jaylen Brown is a great comparison for Okuro. Much more realistic than Kawhi or Butler which is best case scenario type of stuff. Cavs considered Avidja seriously but I think they made the right pick. Okuro will be a franchise cornerstone I believe and will be a guy who lives up to his draft position as he works on that shot.
Feels great to finally not have a top 10 pick who will be considered undersized or athletically inferior in any way. Kid will be ready to go out there and learn the NBA the hard way against some grown men like Jimmy and Kawhi themselves and will be all the better for it. Makes the Porter Jr situation easier to swallow. Also don't think for a second that the Porter situation didn't influence this decision.
