POLL: Who will be drafted first?
I'm watching Okafur and would have no problem with him going first. I'm really enamored with Towns.
Hey, by the way who's Curt?
Re: POLL: Who will be drafted first?
Okafor won't suck at the next level. Just like Towns a lot more for potential.

Re: POLL: Who will be drafted first?
anyone seen the Kryspus workout video 7 foot 2 who can throw it down and shoot from any where. He'll be the best Knick of all time
In just one year in college, Okafor showed off moves in the low post that would already rank him among one of the NBA's best offensive big men. Additionally, at 19, there's plenty of time for him to learn to correct some of his flaws.
In April, SI's Pete Thamel wrote about the Towns-versus-Okafor debate, and quoted one scout who felt Okafor's skillset was too good to pass up on:
"There’s probably only five to seven guys in the NBA who can play with their back to the basketball like Okafor," says a Western Conference front office official who contends he would take Okafor at No. 1. "Towns has better upside and could be a better player, but I’d like to think I can get another Towns before I can get another Okafor."
While Okafor has struggled with defense, there's belief he can be taught to be at least an average defender, which would support his dominant offense. This type of skill from a 19 year old is just too deadly:
Minnesota Timberwolves GM Flip Saunders wants to pick Okafor while the rest of his staff wants Towns.
If Saunders' staff wins out and the Wolves take Towns, it'll be interesting to see where Okafor lands. Are teams afraid his defense can't be improved and his offense won't translate, or will teams value his potentially transcendent offense and work with whatever other flaws he may have?

Flip is a very good GM, not so much a great coach anymore. I'm 100% sure this is all smoke screen.

100% correct, but don't forget he'll automatically become one of the worst defensive players in the league.chump change wrote:I think okafor will be a force to be reckoned with.. fluid movement with amazing footwork..
