Raptors rumors: 3 Cleveland Cavaliers players worth trading for

1. SF Isaac Okoro

Okoro’s scoring has gone down the toilet in the last few seasons, as the former No. 5 pick has seen his per game averages drop from 9.6 as a rookie to 6.4 last season. While a capable 3-point shooter, the Cavs haven’t done a very good job of making sure that he can be an ascending creator with the ball.

The Raptors, who are no stranger to rolling the dice on former first-round picks as they try to see if they can revitalize their careers, might be able to turn Okoro into a bench gunner with an offensive game based entirely around his shooting. Doing so would allow them to get some points out of him without suffering as much negative blowback that comes with using him on offense.

Will Isaac Okoro thrive with the Toronto Raptors?

Okoro’s defense remains exceptional, as he can use his versatility, muscle, and quickness to lock down smaller guards while holding his own against bigger forwards that want to duke it out with him closer to the basket. His trade value is clear.

Some might groan at the idea of taking another defensive-minded player with some offensive woes onto the team, but Okoro’s jumper will likely help him win over some skeptical Raptors fans.
