I was a huge Okafor fan at the beginning because of how advanced his post game is at this stage but his defense is pathetic at times

I feel like alot of times its just effort and with coaching and his length he could be at least average but.....I might take Towns at this point

Sounds about right, I like him better as a prospect

We havent even got to see him show off any faceup game, he seems to have the tools for that

Okafor looks like hes gonna be Eddy Curry status on defense
Damn that's straight disrespect by putting Eddy Curry ANYTHING on dude.

Funny thing about Curry though, remember that one season where he almost made the all star team on the Knicks? That showed us all we needed to know, it was all effort with him.

Honestly, he has a lot of similarities to Eddy Curry. Im not necessarily saying that in a bad way, but I think the comparison fits

If Okafor is dedicated and focused he can be a great scorer in the league

A comparison I've heard is Greg Monroe.

I haven't really followed college ball this year though

But with all those comparisons, you still need an anchor next to him
Yep, problem is you need that anchor to be able to hit a midrange jumper too for spacing

Not too many guys out there like that

Ideal big next to him would be Derrick Favors
