Okorie's Rookie Battle Against Top 5 Picks | NBA News
Description
The Pistons just pulled off a bold move, trading up to grab point guard Ebuka Okorie at 17th overall — and he’s already locked in for prime rookie showdowns. With a stacked schedule, Okorie will face top-five picks multiple times, including three matchups against 1 pick AJ Dybantsa, two with 2 pick Darryn Peterson, and double-dosings against Cameron Boozer (3), Caleb Wilson (4), and Keaton Wagler (5). Wilson, dubbed the next Kevin Garnett, gets four games against Detroit — and all eyes are on Okorie to rise above the hype and prove he belongs among the NBA’s brightest new stars.
