Suns' Josh Okogie Puts Kings' Malik Monk on Poster With Monster Dunk
PHOENIX - The Phoenix Suns will look for extra ways to score with Kevin Durant out for at least the next three weeks.
Josh Okogie has proved capable of scoring when called upon, though if he's able to continue putting opposing players on posters, he just might have a trampoline park with his name attached.
Okogie - typically known for his tough defense - hammered home a dunk over Malik Monk in the first half of Phoenix's game against the Sacramento Kings.
After being fouled, Okogie was able to convert the free throw to complete the And-1. The three points brought Phoenix's deficit to 42-41.
Okogie is nowhere near a top scoring option for the Suns, at least not with the talent surrounding him in the lineup. However, he has flashed the ability to put up numbers if needed, scoring over 20 points on five different occasions this season.
Okogie arrived in the offseason after spending the first four years of his career with the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was the No. 20 pick in the 2018 NBA Draft out of Georgia Tech.
He initially inked a one-year deal with the Suns worth $1.96 million and will be a free agent after this season, though Phoenix would be wise to keep him around thanks to his ability to play on both sides of the court.
The highlight reel dunks are pretty cool, too.
