he shot .423% from the 3 this year. that's pretty damn good.

W/e. I never look at or use stats. I remember being impressed with him as a freshman and then he developed slowly in the completely opposite way I think he should have. I thought he was going to be a beast by the time he was done. Not a jump shooter. But that's okay I guess. My eye test (my only method of analyzing basketball) has him resulting in meh. I can see why lots of people would like him tho.

I wouldn't be too upset with the Jazz getting him because I think he could be a better version of Evans (by that I mean, not a ***** and maybe a better shooter). He seems like a safe bet to at least be this so he would be a safe pick. I suppose I'm meh because I like to go for riskier picks.

I have major reservations about Okafor. Looks overrated. I've only seen him three times, but I haven't been impressed. One of those times was in the McD's game where nobody defends, so anybody can look good. Okafor looked like ****. Wasn't impressed in the regular season games I saw of him either. Just three games, doesn't mean isn't great, but I'll have to see it first.

not sure what you saw, but this kid is special. for 280lb big guy to move around like that with a legit back to the basket skill? he would've been legitimately contending for #1 pick this year. he isn't a freak athlete like dwight was, but his post game is light years ahead of dwight and he carries 280lb like it's nothing.

good hands, good feet, nice bun bun, great size. not the best athlete, but it's good enough to dominate any level. i expect this kid to be a special player. he should be a dominant player for duke for sure.
 
Okafor sounds like Big Al 2.0. Never seen him play cuz high school basketball is dumb.

Sorry A-Train. I'd watch you.

he is a better evans. evans' athleticism and nba ball skills. and he hit many key 3% shots. shot 3 very well all season long. he has good form, and he isn't afraid to shoot. so there is no real reason to doubt his shooting ability. i know he had 2 down years, but looks like he matured and really made a huge progress in his game.

i see a solid pro who won't be an all star, but a key starter down the road.

I could see that. I don't think he'll be a particularly good shooter right away though, especially if he's on a team like the Jazz. His looks won't be as good and he won't have such a height advantage when he goes up for shots. He'll have to work on his NBA three. I know he's not afraid to shoot that's for sure, and kind of scary.

I think I'm just prejudice because I feel like he should have a higher bball iq after playing four years of college ball @ MSU
 
just love okafor's body type - massive legs, massive behind. dude has a perfect body for a post player. his gonna dominate the paint.

Wasn't funny, tbh.

You must have missed where I already said that.

Ya see, it fooled the stupid twitter dude because he thought it was Jeff Goodman, when the twitter account said Jeff Goodmam. I know it wasn't that funny, I just wanted to see who it would fool. Looks like you were one of 'em.
