Well, someone is forgetting that Wagner, Miles, Davis, Diop, Boozer, Parker group like it didn't happen. Seriously, have you ever seen a group of guys more upset about being on an NBA team than the guys below?This is a first for our team. We’ve never had so many young kids. We had Hot Rod, Brad, Ron, Mark and Kevin in the span of three years but they all had significant college experience. Daugherty for example had four years with Dean Smith; our three young bucks had fewer years of college combined.
I agree, Popovich would have this kid in the convo for an all defensive team by next year.I continue to believe Pops would kill someone to get Okoro. He’s got everything needed to develop into a very good all around basketball player. Jimmy Butler sees it, and a guy like Jimmy doesn’t just pass around compliments (he’s more likely to dump on someone who underachieves).
People keep posting that he needs to add so much, but he really doesn't. If you want to know what "raw" looks like from a talent stand point, go back and watch the highlights from that 2002 team. A ton of athletic ability with like zero hoops IQ. The only guy who turned out any good was the one with sub athletic ability and plus hoops IQ.
