    Is it me, or is there just something missing from his game? I really don't mean it in a bad way, since he is amazing, but just something is off for me. I think it is that "it" factor. I'm not even sure if it is that.
    It might just be that at his age, he is already so polished and great at everything that I struggle to see what he does to greatly improve.

    He is a natural Center IMO. He is a 7 footer who can rebound and has alot of defensive potential.

    Okafor to me might be best suited for PF because he isn't a very good rebounder & it seems he has limited defensive potential, but most PFs in todays NBA needs to be able to hit the 3.

    I think just playing higher minutes, being a bigger focal point and getting star treatment. I agree with what you're saying. He doesn't really have any flaws, and does everything really well. Even his shooting is on par.

    Just look at the % breakdown from the distances; http://www.basketball-reference.com/...townska01.html

    Per36 he's 20/12 with 2 blocks on 59 TS%

    I think it'll just be team gameplan, roster, referee star respect, and focal point, that'll take him to the next level. I see him topping out as a 25/12/3 guy

    Skill wise he's pretty much already there.

    Probably wouldn't be ideal to have him at PF but quality stretch 4's that can defend are hard to come by like 3 and D wings. I think he'll log in more minutes at the PF in the future... Him and Porzingis are dynamic new age bigs that's for sure.

    Depends on the style of play going forward.

    If it is a lot of this follow the Warriors small ball stuff he is a five, if the league gets big again he is a four.

    Got his bases covered.

    I think he has the exact "off" feeling when people try to associate Duncan in the Magic/Bird/Russell/Wilt category in the all-time rankings. Maybe Duncan and KAT are too kind of people and don't have that arrogance that comes naturally with someone who you try to associate them with?
