Two post up players in Randle and Okafor would be sooo easy to build around.
I like D'lo's potential, don't get me wrong, but how do you pass on Okafor there? Dominating his whole first year of college, winning the championship, you need a big man.... Clarkson already looks like a good PG...

Re: If Lakers drafted Okafor they could have been a younger Grizzlies variant
They'd be giving up 75 points per game in the paint.

Re: If Lakers drafted Okafor they could have been a younger Grizzlies variant
Okafor has the length and size to be a good rim protector, just has to develop into one with good coaching and PT. We still could have traded for Hibbert as a rental since he doesn't play a ton of minutes anyways, give him like 23 minutes a game with Okafor getting 25....

Re: If Lakers drafted Okafor they could have been a younger Grizzlies variant
Are you saying that we aren't giving that up right now?? Kings scored 80 in the paint vs us ffs, one of the big things people said was a con of Okafor is his defense...why didn't they mention it was D'Angelo's weak point as well? Originally Posted by Uncle Drew

Re: If Lakers drafted Okafor they could have been a younger Grizzlies variant
Difference is, the Grizzlies have one of the best defensive centers in the league, and for all his negatives, Randolph isn't as bad a defender as many believe.

Re: If Lakers drafted Okafor they could have been a younger Grizzlies variant
First of all I must say I liked Okafor better at the time of the draft. But Grizzlies?
Is this suppose to be a great thing? Grizzlies are a good team for years and can't get the chip. Nowadays to win it all seems that you must have an elite perimeter player, that's why Lakers went for Russell.
And then you have to factor that Gasol is elite defensively and has a very reliable jump shot. Okafor and Randle aren't good defenders and can't hit from outside.

Re: If Lakers drafted Okafor they could have been a younger Grizzlies variant
Ginobili was a terrific athlete in his prime. Dude was quick, super agile, great body control and fluidity. Deceptively good hops as well, dude used to catch defenders off guard and throw it down regularly. Russell looks like his feet are glued to the court. Originally Posted by JerrySeinfeld

Re: If Lakers drafted Okafor they could have been a younger Grizzlies variant
Well yah, the grizzlies have no wing talent whatsoever. With Randle and Okafor being young and bad defensively at this stage in their careers though, u just have to keep tanking and get the perimeter players later Originally Posted by Genaro
