    Default Okafor will not go top 3

    6-9/6-10 centers who don't jump/dunk well and don't have explosive athletic ability or the ability to defend 4's don't translate well to the NBA. I think he goes 4-8 range because someone will reach for a big w a big name

    1-Russell 6-5 pg ohio st
    2-towns 7-0 pf/c Kentucky
    3-looney 6-9 sf UCLA
    4-porzingis 7-1 pf/c
    5-mudiay 6-5 pg
    6-cauley stein 7-0 C Kentucky

    Myles turner and okafor is close. Turners ceiling much higher, okafors floor much higher. Okafor will be better than Jared Sullinger but not a franchise player

    He's 6'11. The kid is huge.

    If you think Sullinger and Okafor are the same size then you need glasses. Okafors presence is far greater

    Did this guy shrink or something? Last time I heard he was like 6"11 or 6"10, 270 pounds.

    6-11 on paper. In game? 6-9 maybe 6-10. Does he finish around the rim w dunks?

    Yes all the time. You make this thread and you don't even watch the games?

    He's not a deandre jordan high riser but he's explosive with his dunks and when he jumps.

    Why Make a thread stating something as fact when two seconds of looking at YouTube showed me he finishes at the rim with dunks

    Unbelievable isn't it? He compared him to Jared Sullinger. That could be the worst comparison I've seen in 2015

    An athletic finisher who actually has post moves and a jump shot for a big man? Yes, please. Wait, he blocks shots, grabs boards, and anchors a defense too?

    He's gonna be 20/10 for a decade. I don't know if this draft has 3 other guys who are better than that.

    Why use youtube highlights to scout a guy you could see play so many times on national tv?

    The guy lays balls in that nba centers dunk. Positioning and strength makes that work in NCAA. Guards, C's, and forwards block layups in the NBA
