66. Pick Analysis. 6-foot-6 | F. Issac Okoro. player. Scouting Report. Auburn. 10

This could end up being the pick of the draft if Okoro hits on the outcomes some expect for him. Others don’t even view him as a lottery pick. The Suns can always use defense and Okoro may be the best overall defender in the draft on the wing. Okoro and Mikal Bridges would make for an interesting wing tandem if they chose to push Booker into an on-ball role to close games. Profiled as a stopper, he would be ideal for a team that has struggled at getting stops as far back as most can remember.
