JB Bickerstaff on Isaac Okoro: He’s a lockdown defender

Cleveland Cavaliers head coach JB Bickerstaff once again has high expectations for Isaac Okoro as a defender.

(via Cleveland Cavaliers):

“We’re still going to have the same expectation of him. Who he’s guarding, nine times out of ten will be the other team’s best offensive player on the floor from a perimeter standpoint that night. I don’t expect his responsibilities to change. Obviously if there’s more possessions, you’ll lean on him more because he’ll have more opportunities. But he’s a lockdown defender and we have the benefit of being able to put him all over the floor to control and contain guys.”
