The Timberwolves picked Okogie in the first round and Butler's exit provided him with an early taste of the starting lineup. Being a scoring leader with 18.2 ppg back in college, Okogie's talents have not translated fairly well to the professional environment that NBA houses.

In the 74 games played for Minnesota this season, he could only manage 7.7 points and less than 3 rebounds per game.

He shot less than 40% from the floor - not satisfactory for a shooting guard - in over 24 minutes of on-court time every game. Josh recorded subpar averages in all the other aspects of the game, however, he was named a member of the World Team for the 2019 Rising Stars Challenge.

His emphatic block of James Harden's three-point shot in February is one of the very few highlights he's had in his rookie season.
