BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 8% of leagues
ANALYSIS: If I know something about Isaac Okoro, it must be that Isaac Okoro is not your average rookie player. Okoro has started all games for the Cavs this season. That's correct. He has logged 28 starts already, is playing an average of 34 minutes per game, and although his per-minute production is not the greatest, the truth is that his counting stats are great because of that massive time of run.
Okoro has played four games in the past seven days and only once has he dropped from 34 minutes of playing time. Those are mental numbers for a rook, although that is normal considering the precarious situation of the Cavs and their rebuilding status. In this past week, Okoro has put up an average 11-4-1-1-1 line, which is pretty stuffed no matter how you look at it. The usage, mind you, is rather low at just 14% but the rookie is making the most of his opportunities.
Nothing is telling us that Okoro will hit the bench any time soon, and odds are he keeps logging starts and large minutes going forward. In fact, with Cleveland willing to move other forwards such as Kevin Love, and with Larry Nance Jr. still injured and out, it's even possible that he keeps getting into heavier roles as the season advances.
