He can't shoot well enough to be a shooting guard and he may not be big enough to live solely off plays around the rim in the NBA. Okoro's question marks are on the offensive end where at 6-foot-6 he doesn't have a defined position. He's like Matisse Thybulle with more muscle. Okoro in a best-case scenario could guard one through three and possibly some smaller power forwards. He's an upper-echelon athlete and a very aggressive player, a good combination for the defensive end. Okoro is a force on the defensive end with NBA-ready explosion and strength. With that in mind, here are the five best wing defenders in the 2020 NBA Draft. With the ninth overall pick, Washington should have several options if that's the route they choose to go.

A defensive-minded wing player is something the Wizards could really use, as they need to improve their defense and have some room on their depth chart at the position.
