The 8 years I saw him play for my team constantly getting owned in the paint
Lakers dodged a bullet by passing up on Okafor
- Thread starter the cool
- Start date
Marc Gasol won DPOY in 2012-13. In 2013-14, his Defended Field Goal Percentage was 48.6%, including 60.9% at less than six feet.
Okafor's Defended Field Goal Percentage right now is 48.4%, including 54.3% at less than six feet.
This season, Gasol's DFG% is 43.7%, including 55.3% at less than six feet, which is still worse than Okafor's percentages.
In 2013-14, Cousins' DFG% was 46.7%, including 57% at less than six feet. This year, he's at 43.3% and 51.9% at less than six feet.
Do you need more examples? I'm listing Cousins and Gasol's numbers well past age 20 as well.
Randle was the BPA and has already shown flashes. If he gets a consistent jumpshot he'll be a double double machine
Edit: Wait I just realized I responded to Seum's WOATI lost
Lotta "ifs" there... Flashes ain't enough, this is the NBA, u either have it or u don't
That was a stupid post
Exactly.. Dude is a moron
you just compared okafor to marc gasol and you're asking me if I need more examples.
you could have just said "nah i don't watch sixer games, but here's one stat that makes him look good". How about the sixers going from a top 10 defense to one of the league's worst defenses with the biggest change being the fact they got Okafor starting now?
Why don't you show me the sixers overlal defensive rating with okafor on and off the court as I remember it didn't look pretty. How about plenty more examples because it's common knowledge he's not a good defender and you're trying to use one statistic to make him look good. Like Cousins isn't even considered a good defense, yet those numbers would make him look good.

@Gil Scott-Heroin what the fukk is wrong with these guys? You're maintaining that a rookie big man has no chance of improving on defense and I'm showing you how other big men have improved over the years.you just compared okafor to marc gasol and you're asking me if I need more examples.

Bro his defense can only be as good as ens kanter, some people cant defend and he is one of them..
They do have Nerlens Noel maybe he can develop a dependable jump shot later in his career. He's only like 21.

you listed marc gasol from his DPOY year and showed me he "improved" in one statistic of the game. if his defense actually got that much better from his DPOY he would win it every year. you also listed cosuins and one of the biggest knocks on him is his defense. if he was good defensively he would probably be easily one of the best big men in the game, but unfortunately he still struggles on that side of the floor.
poor defensive big men do not have a tendency to become great. you also said you'd give me more examples, but when i asked you go on to bytch.
