Speaking of old school, Okafor reminds me a bit of James Donaldson. Now that's old school.
Following potential 2015 draftees
- Thread starter Dr. Jones
- Start date
Who reminds you of Okafor then? I thought Coleman is a dead ringer, big, long, not overly athletic but has post moves to burn.

Towns is indeed a ****ing weird player.
Ok so Johnson is pretty much a sure thing... if nothing else he can always hang his hats on his defensive intensity right?
I would say his ceiling is a more aggressive Kawhi????? I mean let's be honest that's legit.

Partly disagree.
Yep, size is an attribute that is a factor in computing overall value, but it's not the only one. I agree on that part. But I didn't mean anything opposing to that anyway.
But no, being a big is still a tremendous value in my opinion when you don't consider the other things. I say Exum would go 4th or 3rd on natural conditions, meaning disregarding the particular needs of drafting teams. At least, I think that way. I would definitely not draft Exum first in this draft if the needs of my team were equal in the guards and big men rotations of my team.
And don't overlook maybe the most important part of my previous post. "Especially without the hindsight". I wasn't even as much hyped as I am right now about Exum before the draft. Maybe you knew him better than me though, so I can't speak for you.

I guess a Handball game would be more accurate
Towns is pretty skilled. That's the upside teams will be betting on. Developing versatility.
A young Ron Artest is the best comparison I've seen. Very strong body, explosive considering his weight. Streaky from outside. Plays defense with an edge. Also my best candidate for a player who might require lobotomy to become a winner(Candidate for the Dion Waiters award)
Not just about how much he'll impact the game, but how he helps create space and mismatches for others to win games.
Dunno why everybody is afraid to say str8 up: Al Jefferson with a huge prayer he might become interested in playing defense and passing and develop more in Duncan's direction. But I guess Jefferson burned too many bridges in Utah
So basically he was a guard until he was 16? Didn't Davis show a similar growth spurt? I guess not everybody is not a natural talent when it comes to motion and body coordination to preserve the mobility of a guard.

I actually used Al Jeff in my comps for Okafor.. so not skeered bru.
Why are u suggesting Johnson doesn't play hard.. or did I misunderstand?
No I wanted to laud his defense. Plays defense with an edge afaik means he takes pride in it.
But what I've seen is ball hogging, questionable shot selection, missing teammates who are better positioned. That's why I said lobotomy.
But maybe his iso skills will be enough so he won't have to readjust his game(Prolly not)
Also this is very limited footage I have seen, so I have been shy to say my own opinion other than referring opinions of people who I think are smart.
