Okonak is a versatile combo that brings energy, toughness and a high game IQ. He is a dual threat sniper, who possesses a nice touch from three point land, but is also extremely effective when he attacks off the bounce. He has good court vision and is always looking to distribute the rock in style. He is a strong defender and loves drawing fouls. He has actually turned that into an artform. He is able to use his strength to be a fierce rebounder as well.

This past season, he averaged 12 points , 6 rebounds , and 6 assists. His AAU team lost far too many super close games and that really frustrated him. He has put in a tremendous amount of work to improve in all facets of his game. His goals for the upcoming season are to be a better leader and help his team win more games. He has worked hard to get faster and improve his ball handling, as well as be more consistent on defense and land even more of his shots. Hie energy levels are off the charts.

He is a calm, cool and collected customer who simply doesn’t rattle under pressure. He is able to take a deep breath and stay laser focused. When asked what a coach can expect from him, he said “I am able to take constructive criticism, and I can make the necessary changes to fix the issues at hand. I hustle and I have no problem diving for loose balls.”

His dream is to someday play at the next level, and with his intense work ethic, and as he continues to gain more and more confidence, he is only going to get better and better. His skills and high IQ make him special. Stay tuned!
