OKARO WHITE (WAS)
#15•O. WHITE
F • 6’8, 204 lbs; 3rd year, Florida State
UNDERDOG
NBA ROLE: (RAW) ATHLETIC, HYBRID FORWARD
Florida State’s Okaro White fits the bill as an athletic forward; White began his pro career in Greece – after a couple impressive stints in the D-League, Okaro’s now searching for long-term real estate in the league; nice defensive framework – solid foot speed, raw ability to match up v. multiple positions, help & recover; improving offensive talent, likes to set up from downtown (quick release, confident spotting up from corners & elbows) & find easy buckets around the rim; body type is suitable for today’s game (slender, athletic) but adding 10-12 lbs could help him better defend larger 3s & 4s; bounced around a bit since entering the league – future role player in Washington?

GEORGE KING (PHX)
#24•G. KING
SF • 6'6, 220 lbs; Rookie, Colorado
ROOK
NBA ROLE: (RAW) VERSATILE FORWARD
The penultimate pick of the 2018 Draft, Colorado’s George King could develop into a role-playing forward; improving each year w/ Buffaloes: King shot 40% from deep in college, rebounds & defends his position; doesn’t command too much action to be effective - King can impact games through energy & effort no matter how many touches he gets; 3&D role (at some point) or versatile scorer in the league?; 6’6 SF, will fight for time at (small ball) PF - knocking down three ball gives him a chance to play both spots; athletic defender: King’s always flying in for blocks & put backs; needs to improve below the rim finishing + OTD scoring; on 2Way contract - splits time w/ Northern Arizona Suns - needs to play well when called upon, make an early impression on Coach Igor Kokoskov
SIGNATURE! COMING SOON.

PF • 6’9, 230 lbs; 2nd year, North Carolina
UNDERDOG
NBA ROLE: (RAW) SCORING POWER FORWARD
A former National Champion at North Carolina, NYK’s Isaiah Hicks is developing into a quality NBA player in NY; good inside scorer, doesn’t shy away from the midrange: Hicks creates an open target after screens, can hit a variety of Js: facing up, short shots around the basket; quick jumper w/ long strides* - niche as a catch & finisher/occassional shooter in the vein of Richaun Holmes (PHX)?; another positive rebounder on NYK’s front line?; decent help side shot-blocker, must learn to always impact game even if offense isn’t going; on 2Way contract - Hicks gained confidence in G League as a rook - sleeper under David Fizdale
*able to take his man off the dribble
