Why does Okafor fall to #8?
I know people aren't in love with him, but 18 and 7 as a rookie. To me he is the 3rd pick in a redraft.

For me, 8th is about right. 18 and 7 means nothing if the guy plays zero defense. That said, i wouldn't have Russell or Lyles that high. I'd have Booker higher.
I would say:
1. KAT
2. Porzingis
3. Okafor
4. Russell
5. Mudiay
6. Booker
7. Turner
8. Lyles
9. Jokic
10. Johnson
11. Winslow
12. Hezonja
13. Portis
14. Richardson
Really early to be doing a re-draft though, but that is how I would do it atm.

Hmm, perhaps I need to check out more nugget's games. Jokic should be up there as well shouldn't he?
Does he play 0 defense or was he just on one of the all-time worst teams because they made no effort to build the roster to win games?
You are right, redoing my redraft.
Well, Okafor doesn't have a natural position the way the league is heading. He's really a 5, but he doesn't rim protect and he can't guard the paint that well. He's hard to play at the 4 because he has limited range, limiting spacing, and he can't guard in space. Philly was trying to trade him recently and couldn't get a pick in the 4 - 7 range this year in order to grab Dunn, Murray or Hield.
Lyles is like the prototypical multi-faceted PF.
I still don't think he goes before Lyles in redraft, just too much potential. You say he doesnt have a position, but that is wrong. He is a center and he can be a great one.
Maybe, but Boston preferred Jaylen Brown, and Phoenix preferred Dragan Bender. Who knows if Philly offered NOLA Okafor for #6 (Hield).

Lol. You could say the same thing for Booker that you did about Okafor.
I honestly don't think the Jazz would trade Lyles for Booker straight across right now.
Doesnt mean other teams would pick Lyles over Booker.
