“It has been like that my whole life, really,” Okongwu said. “In high school I was playing with Lonzo and Melo, and when I was in AAU, I was playing with the Mobley brothers, Evan Mobley and Isaiah Mobley. I’ve been playing with high-level talent for my whole life. So with that experience, I just know how to play with really good basketball players. I know how to make them better and they know how to make me better, and that’s how we mesh on the court. That’s why in AAU with the Mobleys, we were so successful. That’s why in high school with Melo, we were so successful. We know how to play competitively and we know how to play the right way.”
