I'm going to give Okoro's his flowers. Okoro has been misused by JB. He is not a spot up shooter. He is a slasher and could be post option offensively. That's how he was used used Auburn. Use him as Pick & Roll set man to get mismatched against smaller players. While doing that, surround him with shooting. If JB runs a 10-man rotation, he could be on the floor with Neto, LeVert, Osman, and Love. The only time he should be on the floor with Mobley and Allen, is on specific defensive possession towards the end of a quarter or game. He has the upside to be a spot up shooter but needs time to develop that. He doesn't fit great with our core 4 but he could be a great piece off the bench as a slasher and post option.
Could not Okoro be out backup guard? I mean, he seems more a guard despite can’t shoot
The year after a player rebuilds their shot – which Okoro did – is often a really bad shooting year. The year following that is usually a back on track or even better. You'll see him start to hit 3s at the end of the season, and next year it will look good.
I think that Okoro has been better as of late. He needs to be playing HIS brand of basketball. He is a slasher type player but he can bang down a three if he can. His defense is definitely a plus for the Cavs
