Georgia Tech’s Okogie staying in NBA Draft

By ADAM ZAGORIA

After a strong showing at last week’s NBA Combine, Georgia Tech star Josh Okogie will remain in the NBA Draft, he announced Monday.

The 6-foot-4 Okogie, 19, helped himself last week when he played well at the Combine, posted a 42-inch max vertical jump and also measured a 7-foot wingspan.

He averaged 18.2 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists as a sophomore at Georgia Tech.
