The Timberwolves have signed first-round pick Josh Okogie, the team’s public relations department tweets.
Okogie, who was selected with the No. 20 overall pick, will receive approximately $2.16MM in the first year of his rookie contract. Okogie, a 6’4” shooting guard, departed Georgia Tech after his sophomore year, in which he averaged 18.2 PPG and 6.3 RPG. He turns 20 in September.
He’ll compete for minutes behind starter Jimmy Butler.
Good luck Josh… not a nice job competing for minutes with Butler in a team coached by Thibs, he doesn’t play subs or rookies for that matter.
