What's the best Toplane with our Comp?(TT)

Hi there, we are a team of 3 buddies that plays a lot of rank 3s recently. We always play Lulu AP bot (or Orianna) and Xin jungle (or J4). Our toplaner was playing Garen but we realized it's a weak pick for the early game. Now we want to know what's the best top he can play considering he will play mostly with Lulu and Xin. We are thinking about Olaf because it's a Garen kind of champion but are we going to leak in hard CC? Wukong is in our head too but maybe we will be too squishy mid game? We are Gold 1 aiming for Plat. Thanks a lot!

Garen is a solid pick, but he's not exactly necessary. Darius, Wukong, and Lee Sin are all fantastic replacements due to their ability to be tanky/damage like a Garen would be, but with even more CC added to your team. Just keep in mind that all champions mentioned for top can be (and in my opinion should be) build as a bruiser instead of a damage dealer. CC bruisers can quite easily overwhelm people in a manner that damage/instagibbers can't quite match.
