Throughout the draft process, the Golden State Warriors have been on hand for workouts featuring some of the top prospects in the 2020 class.
Along with players like James Wiseman, Anthony Edwards, Tyrese Haliburton and Deni Avdija, Auburn’s Isaac Okoro has been added to Golden State’s list of draft workouts.
In a pre-draft zoom call with reporters, the SEC All-Freshman forward mentioned the Golden State Warriors as a team he’s worked out for during the draft process. Along with the Warriors, Okoro said he’s worked out for the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

During his only season with Bruce Pearl at Auburn, the 6-foot-6 forward averaged 12.9 points on 51.4% shooting from the field with 4.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks per contest.
Although he could use time to develop his offensive repertoire, Okoro would immediately provide Steve Kerr’s rotation a much-needed jolt of athleticism. The 19-year-old is a fierce defender that could learn from Draymond Green and Klay Thompson. While he grows on both ends of the floor, Okoro could get experience in Golden State’s second unit with Eric Paschall.
While it could be a surprise if he comes off the board with the second pick, Okoro could be a name to watch if Bob Myers and Kerr decide to move down with a trade on draft night.
