Jahlil Okafor is slipping b/c he reminds too many of Eddy Curry!

His offensive game is sick but some are concerned about his weight and defensive motor. Sounds familiar!

He's a better rebounder than Curry. Yeah he does suck at free throws and defense but he's as close to a sure thing on offense as there is. Still going top 2.

Towns is the better prospect

Okafors post game is nice but in my opinion banging in the post is outdated these days and hes not a very good defender, jumpshooter, nor rebounder....plus lacks athleticism

Towns is your prototypical center these day...rebounds, blocks, and can step out and hit a jumper

The question is can Towns be a #1 option;can he carry an offense night in and night out. He's surrounded by a boat load of talent and isn't the top option. He's going to go to a team that sucks and doesn't have the same level of talent. Not saying I disagree because he does have a much higher upside, I just question if he can be the top dog every night.

Okafor's team as talent, albeit not as much as Kentucky, and he's the best player night in and night out. He's basically unstoppable one and one and has proven he can carry an offense.

neither one is a franchise player/#1 option imo

Okafor will be the equivalent of Al Jefferson. Big man with a post game and he will develop a nice little mid range game with time. Probably will average 16-20 PPG and around 10 RPG. I think his off-field intangibles are a little better and I think he wants it more. I think he will grow into a nice #2 scoring option on a playoff/contending team. Not a guy who will lead you to a title but will be a key part of your team.

Okafor is fat and overweight and eats cheeseburgers on the bench?

If only they can raise the college limit to 2 years so players can get a little bit more development. :p

Are you guys for it or against it?

I've always been for it. But I understand the legal reasons for being against it. But the NFL gets away with it, so why cant' the NBA?

It will take a stipend for players to agree with it.

It would help the college game as well as the NBA imo.
