Following potential 2015 draftees

[spycam1]

I really think that's the comp for him... He's probably going to be a better passer though.

Zach Randolph with a little more finesse. Okafor is more athletic than Big Al.

Maybe he'll learn to play defense once he gets a real post coach. Don't forget how much Cousins improved in that regard once he got to the NBA as well.

I agree with these. He's more athletic than Al and a better passer. But Al could make a jump shot/FT.

If I had to guess, I'd say Okafor will have a better career, but I'm not sure he's the franchise changer that teams are hoping he is.

I would assume the Duke coaches are telling him to take it easy on defense because then that Plumlee spaz would have to play.

lol

You've got WCS ahead of Porzingis when we already have Gobert?


Interesting.

I really like porzingis' game but with wcs you can't have to many defenders. you can always trade assets. keep in mind that the jazz still have kanter. wcs would hide a ton of kanters defensive problems.

I am also debating lyles vs looney both are similar.

FYI, the player that Okafor was guarding the majority of the time went 3-10. It's not like he was making shots left and right. He's not a great defender, but he's certainly not as bad as y'all are making him out to be.

Agree with this. I think he's a slightly below average defender at the NBA level, but he's better than most are suggesting. He's just more offense than defense.

 

[Hantlers]

He has the physical tools to be at the very least average at defense. I wouldn't be concerned about it.

yes sir. This is an old schoo type throwback player. He is good.

Yeah, people make hook shots sometimes, it's a shot designed to be shot over people who might be able to block your shot.

Reminds me of Odom before he sucked.

I'd say: Before he went CooCoo from all the CoCo.

I would assume the Duke coaches are telling him to take it easy on defense because then that Plumlee spaz would have to play.

As a whole the Plumlees seem to be late bloomers so I would not count him out yet, but he does seem to be well behind the other Plumlees. It does appear he needs to calm down out there. Missed an easy alley oop today.

if trey lyles was a better 3pt shooter he would be a top 5 pick
