My Take

Okoro is a defender's defender, and in an era obsessed with three-point volume that's both his gift and his burden. When the Cavaliers drafted him fifth overall, the bet was that his perimeter defense would translate immediately, and it largely has; he routinely draws the toughest wing assignment and competes every possession. The knock has always been the jumper, but I've enjoyed watching him steadily rebuild his shooting confidence into something defenses have to respect. He's the kind of glue role player that contending teams quietly cannot function without, even if he never racks up the highlight numbers. I value that grit a lot.
