Pau Orthez. Elie Okobo. 23. player. 100. . PG

Okobo is the perfect player for this squad. He’ll fit in seamlessly to the roster while adding value.

"Watch Okobo’s film for a few minutes and you can understand why his stock continues to rise. In several clips he looks like many of the NBA’s best guards. In particular, Okobo excels utilizing screens to get up accurate shots and in pick and roll situations. His decision making is also above par showcasing his high basketball I.Q. In spite of this he’s still learning the point guard role having functioned more in the shooting guard role previously."
