From Fedor's last question-and-answer column:
Altman spoke about “unlocking” Okoro more on the offensive end. He is heading into his third season. That’s the famed leap year for youngsters. But at this point of his career, Okoro -- most effective in the open floor and cutting to the basket -- lacks the diverse offensive skill set to threaten opposing defenses. Starting or coming off the bench, that’s a problem.
Without beating mismatches or knocking down open jumpers, it becomes tougher to justify so much playing time -- even when making an impact elsewhere. Okoro knows it. That’s his offseason focus.
I don't know about the third season being "the famed leap year for youngsters". Has anybody seen evidence of that? But hopefully that will be the case for Isaac.
I assume he will be in the gym every day working on his offensive game. The addition of LeVert, the return of Sexton, the improvement by Stevens, Markkanen showing he can play the 3, and the possible addition of another wing in the draft means Okoro will face more challenges than in past years for playing time. I agree that without a more diverse skill set he won't be able to continue getting the minutes he has been getting. There are too many other options.
