Agreed. Something about him screams Al Jefferson type of player not Tim Duncan.

Superstar
Disn't know about his wingspan
Then again he is only a freshman and probably will get bigger. But so will Towns and towns is already a monster
Yeah pretty much the only knock on his game is that he has no real motor, never expends any unnecessary effort, and it'll hold him back. Kinda similar to Dwight, even. Towns' diva attitude reports point to him being a whiner, which is just as bad.
I'd say though that you can't go wrong with drafting either, and if Towns can perform in the future similar to how he did against ND then he'll have the higher ceiling
Yup but watch his stock rise a bit in workouts. He's got the tools and in a open gym situation will look great. He'll struggle in the league cause he's not as athletic as people think and he's got a streaky jumpshot.
Who you getting you're scouting from, Chatty Ms. Patti? :whoacarlton:
Okafor just plays like he gives no fukks about defense, and doesn't have that hunger on the boards. He gets a hand up and everything and he makes the right rotations but he doesn't have that killer in him that says "this is MY paint". That's on the court.

idk at this point Towns looks better, im impressed how he runs the floor.
but i think okafor will be the better nba player.

Neither will be superstars, but both will be good
His standing reach is an issue for a guy that isn't all that athletic, Boogie's reach is 9'5", Jahlil's is 9'2" and 1/4th. Might not seem like much, but for a dude that plays under the rim to begin with it's a bit
He had a little trouble with Sabonis and Poeltl and neither of those guys are giants. I think much like Boogie, he's gonna be one of those guys that gets their shots blocked a lot.

I think that's fair. But like you said, Boogie gets his shots blocked/challenged plenty. And yet, you can still be a dominant force.

That's not a bad thing. If you can find the players necessary to mask Okafor's deficiencies then great. If you can't, you'll look bad.

Okafors lack of effort on d and at times on the boards is downright scary
I didn't know Nerlens could move like this brehs
