The draft thread is a discussion of who we want the jazz to pick. This is a mock draft discussion centered around who we think every team should take. Two completely different topics. The draft thread is a discussion of 5-10 players we think might be available to the jazz. We will be discussing just about anyone we think will go first round

Lick it batbutt!!
 
I picked Okafor. He's the best player in the draft. Could end up being the best post up big for years to come. I don't care if Towns fits better. Okafor seems to me the more sure fire star

So you are suggesting this belongs in general NBA?

It's who you think they will take, not should take.

Except Towns doesn't go first because of fit. He goes first because he's the better 2-way player. I think Okafor may not even go 2nd. He easily has the best offensive game, and he is amazing in that aspect, but NBA teams have come to realize the importance of interior defense and how difficult it is to build around a big man who doesn't provide it.

Towns offense is miles from where Okafor's offense is. The other question is that we know Towns is a good defender, but is it Gobert good or Kenyon Martin good. Martin was a good defender but not good enough to make him special. None of us know.

What we do know is that Okafor is an elite low post scorer. I just think he's a better player and is more likely to be able to carry a team then Towns. At this point I'm not sold that he's elite at anything. Not saying he's a bust. I just don't know with Towns where as Okafor is expected by most to be great offensively.
