Okogie was born in Lagos, Nigeria, and is part of an extraordinary generation of Nigerian-born NBA players that includes Giannis Antetokounmpo, Pascal Siakam, and Al-Farouq Aminu — a testament to the global growth of basketball.
His 20th overall draft selection made him one of the highest-drafted Georgian high school products in that class, validating his exceptional combination of athleticism and competitive drive.
Okogie is known throughout the league as a player who competes at maximum effort every minute he is on the floor — the type of energy that coaches value and that teammates feed off of.
His vertical leap and wingspan measurements at the 2018 NBA Draft Combine placed him among the most athletic wings in his entire draft class.
