I do appreciate his hustle though.

Pat never went back to back games without scoring

Bogans did though.

Bogans had blown his knee out and was at the tail end. Plus he was a league veteran player.

Okoro is healthy and well paid for his role.

I believe that's what Cavs fans called him.

0k0r0 is my favourite.

Issac will accidentally score on a tip in or get a run out dunk. Maybe the Bulls will have a big enough lead and he gets fouled for Free Throws.

I was no fan of the trade but I wait 10 games on anybody before deciding if he should start, come off the bench or move down to the towel section.

Dude is pulling a Pat. MIA.

He will come back to normal soon. Weird jitters.

He looked solid in first preseason game too.

Okoro casual +20 tonight (and has more FGM and better FG% than Lonzo now through the same number of games).

Hope he continues to get settled in.

I'm watching Lonzo's Cav's highlights.... such a stupid trade.

I don't think Okoro is a better defender than Lonzo; Lonzo could guard 4's like Julius Randle, better than Okoro could.

Much better shooter and will actually look to the basket to score.

The one big mistake of the summer.

my contribution to the discussion of isaac okoro is, he's probably not any good, but that's not really a big deal because he's probably at best the no. 7 guy in our guard/wing rotation.

i would hope that donovan is as flexible with his lineups/rotation as he suggested he would be at the beginning of the season, because it probably makes sense to swap huerter in with the starters if okoro doesn't pick things up very soon here

All look better than Okoro's 9 baskets. Along with his command of the ball and pushing it to the right player. I'd rather start Lonzo than Okoro.

That's exactly as many as Okoro.

Lonzo looks to score? The dude is the worst finisher I've ever seen and his FGA per 36 this season is 0.5 less than Okoro's.

They've both been dog crap so far.

I do agree that Lonzo is a better defender, at least pre-injury.

He looks like a bad player to me. Can't shoot, tunnel vision, lack of size. He's the next David Nwaba.

Going back to the OP, is it time to discuss him? IMO, NO. Hot takes on guys in new systems almost always prove wrong. I fully expect him to return to his career averages by the ASG. I think we're underrating his defense, which has been above average.

Okoro will be an interesting option ,when trade deadline coming and other eastern contenders seeking someone to go against Cavs , especially Donovan Mitchell.
