IS IT ME OR DOES OKAFOR LOOK LIKE HE HAS BUST WRITTEN ALL OVER HIM?

An Eddie Curry comp? For OKAFOR?

fukk this, I'm going to bed.
Why is it such a bad comparison?

Curry had some serious issues outside of basketball that held him back, but I can see the pure basketball comparisons

:ld:

anybody saying eddy curry cant be taken seriously :heh:


His defense is a huge concern I will admit that... I think alot of it is just effort and he could be in better shape. I think dude can become a decent defender one day.

Never all nba defense or anything but I think he can be alright on that end. If he goes to a coach that stresses defense he'll be ok on that end

Al Jefferson isn't a bad player but I wouldn't draft a player like him with the first overall.

You're never winning a championship with a guy like that.
Only 2 players in the lotto era have ever been chosen #1 overall and won a ring with the team that picked him. Robinson and Duncan. Only three others did it at all (LeBron, Shaq and Big Dog)

people overrate draft/lotto picks. its a shyt ton of luck when it comes to evaluating talent let alone draft selection.

Emeka Okafor will go down as the best Okafor in basketball history.

You know what? Emeka is healthy and skipped this year to get his body right

Two years removed from NBA ball but if he's healthy... I'd draft Okafor and sign up Emeka to be a mentor and teach his distant cousin some defense.

But this is my point,DeMarcus Cousins,Big Al and Brook Lopez put up big offensive numbers but their teams suck in part because they don't play defense.The 20 points is great,but what about the rim protection ?



.Andre has a motor,Okafor does not.Drummond also avg nearly 3 blks per game,so he was a rim protector unlike okafor.This could be the reason for the low rebound totals..

Okafor scares me,he has the offensive talent,I think he will average 18-22 ppg,but damn...the defense and rim protection is non existent.Lets just look at the championship game,Okafor had 3 rebounds in 22 minutes and was getting killed by Frank Kaminsky.And notice after the game when coach kryxzyzxwaski was talking about players stepping up on defense,there was no mention of okafor.
coach kryxzyzxwaski :mjlol:
That was one of the huge knocks against Drummond coming out was that people thought he had no motor.

Yo bytch bedroom / PITTSBURGH
all Okafor got is some nice post moves n a nice touch round the hoop


His defense gonna be TERRIBLE:camby:
he don't rebound that well
can't shoot outside the paint
Can't jump
isn't quick


He just gonna put up empty numbers on a bad team for a while...

look at boogie cousins and cousins is way better rebounder and defender and all that shyt
