Similar to Mobley, Isaac Okoro’s future depends on his offensive development. Defensively, there isn’t much to criticize about Okoro. He can get into foul trouble at times, but he’s a perimeter defender with undying hustle and determination.

Okoro signed a new contract with the Cavaliers this summer after lengthy restricted free agency negotiations that included numerous deal rumors. On his first night back, Okoro put in a tough performance. Okoro missed all but one free throw and missed all six of his field goals and three long-range attempts. It was reminiscent of the inconsistent and unpredictable production that Okoro provides, a long-standing flaw in his game.

Again, this is just a preseason game, but Okoro’s poor performance doesn’t bode well for his place in the Cavs’ rotation. With the addition of Jaylon Tyson to the roster, the wing rotation will be more competitive than ever, and Okoro could end up being the underdog. That evening, apart from his one point, Okoro only lost one ball. He didn’t grab a rebound, get an assist, steal the ball or block a shot.

Obviously, the Cavaliers need more from their veteran wing. He’ll likely get used to Atkinson’s new offense, and things will hopefully improve once the regular season begins and the team has more time to gel. Otherwise, it could be another year of trade deadline rumors for Ice.
