:toast let's get it in Spur fan....I think this kid will win us just as many titles as Timmy did for SA...they're basically carbon copies of each other....if David Robinson who played with Duncan can admit it then I have no reason to believe it's not true...David would know :toast
The Admiral—who played alongside Duncan in San Antonio for six seasons—tweeted his impressions of Okafor, who turned in a 20-point, 10-rebound performance as part of the Duke rout.

killa pointed it out. I thought okafors weight is gonna be an issue but he has really slimmed down and he looks good. Never seen a big run the floor like him. And those mitts, my goodness, this dude effortlessly scores.
Can't wait to see what KAJ will do with him. :lol

Not predicting duncanesque but the fact he is taking this seriously and is locked in shows me something. Plus despite some iffy tournament games he was the best player on a title team. Sure, Melo and Kemba Walker and even Shabazz Napier can claim that ...but something about being the #1 HS player, a freshman all -american and then leading a team to a title means something. At ties Tyus and Justise were able to step up when he faltered ...but now with the new shape he is inI think he will be fine. Really Lakers will get a good big or Russell.
I will say this for the Rusell contingent and the fact the game is de-emphasizing big men ... IF prime duncan or shaq or even Blake was in this draft along with steph or Harden ...I am still taking the big ...I dont care what the game is evolving to. Duncan would still be great in this era. Again, not saying either big is tim or even close maybe a poor man's Timmy at best ...but I would rather have a poor man's Duncan than a poor man's steph or Harden. But i think the dummies that are pushing russell just because of the space and pace is silly. You take a big or a elite wing. The title teams in my lifetime have all been led by elite players 6 foot 6 or bigger or dominant big men. Only Isiah and the Badboys is the exception and maybe the 2004 Pistons. Since there is no elite wing you go big.
Russell would hve to have a Kobesque workout to change my mind.

Kobe reminds a lot of people of Jordan, but that doesn't mean he was anywhere close to as good.
It's like a Hyundai reminds some people of the BMW because Hyundai's chief designer used to design BMWs, but a Hyundai is still a Hyundai, and it's nowhere close to a BMW.
That said, I am giving too much credit to Okafor or Kobe, the game between Okafor and Duncan, and Kobe and Jordan is WAY larger than the gap between a Hyundai and a BMW.

Tim wasn't an all world defender coming out of Wake Forest..in fact he was getting shitted on routinely due to all the good quality big men at the time...Jahill will benefit greatly from not having that many quality bigs to deal with.. and he will catch Tim defensively much quicker....
They're at the same defensive level and offensive level coming out of college....I will give Okufer the edge because we have Kareem, Magic, and Worthy plus a 5 time champ on the team to pressure him into being great...and you better fuck around and hope we don't get Towns....either way can't lose

After four years though....
Okafor is going to be the best pure center that the college game has seen in quite some time.
The 6-foot-10 Okafor is a throwback. In a time where fewer true five-men are playing the game and the position is filled with shot blockers or power forwards masquerading as centers, Okafor is like a mid-1990s NBA big man with post moves, craftiness and incredibly long arms. The Chicago native is the type of jaw-dropping talent that comes along once every couple if yrs...
Duncan stayed four years at Wake Forest (http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/teams/page/WAKE/wake-forest-demon-deacons) and was dominant by his junior season after being somewhat raw as a freshman and sophomore. That won't happen with Okafor. This kid is primed to make a major impact from the first day he steps foot in the league...
Koolaid_Man
05-21-2015, 04:06 PM
His story sounds a lot like Tim Duncans as well...
And yet, Okafor remains egoless — a sarcastic, fun-loving freshman at Duke who prefers hanging out with his friends over finding himself in the spotlight, who attended his coach’s son’s birthday rather than spend his free time at the mall, who made it a point in high school to help the less fortunate.
“He’s one of those kids, if he wanted to date your daughter, you would be thrilled,” said Don Showalter, who coached Okafor on junior national teams for three years.
The 6-foot-11, 270-pound Chicagoan is becoming a household name because of his ability with a basketball in his massively large hands, possessing a developed post game and innate understanding of angles and positioning few seniors grasp.
Koolaid_Man
05-21-2015, 04:08 PM
The comparisons keep rollin in..
ESPN Draft insider Chad Ford said Okafor is the most polished big man prospect he has seen since Duncan.
Capel recalled an AAU game the summer before Okafor’s senior year in Las Vegas, with Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony in attendance. Afterward, they approached Capel and Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski, and said: “That kid right there, that’s a young Tim Duncan.”

Here's the killer...
Wake Forest assistant coach Randolph Childress, who played with Duncan for two years and scouted Okafor in advance of the Deamon Deacons game against Duke, said at the same age “he has more post-up moves” than Duncan
Koolaid_Man
05-21-2015, 04:11 PM
The Duncan comparisons are humbling, Okafor said, and so are the predictions of grandeur, his name atop virtually every mock draft. But Okafor is enjoying being a 19-year-old kid for now, immersing himself in the Duke community. He has the fifth-ranked Blue Devils near the top of the polls, considered one of few teams capable of topping top-ranked Kentucky.

Weaknesses: While his conditioning at Duke was a great sign, he is the type of player who will need to work on this constantly and can still tone his body to maximize his athletic potential … Lacks great lateral quickness and is not an explosive leaper … Could be much more of a presence as a defensive rebounder, will miss box outs and find himself out of position … While he shows a soft touch near the hoop, has struggled from the FT line for a majority of the year, only shooting 51.1% FT … Not a player that will stretch the floor, which some consider a downside as far as where the league is headed … Can struggle against length and athleticism, will have a much tougher time creating offense in the post … Struggled defending the pick-and-roll at times, will be that much more difficult in the NBA … Even if he did have a really high number of possessions used, his turnovers numbers were quite high, will be something to work on … His effort level has been under a microscope at times, some wonder whether he goes hard every possession … Lack of athleticism will hurt on defense, which might not make him the most ideal “franchise big man”, hard to name players who have had successful teams around them who have struggled defending the post … Foul trouble was not a major issue, but it might become more of one upon facing pro speed … Not a natural shot blocker, usually gets blocks with length alone and rarely leaves his feet, not an ideal rim protector … While he got fouled quite often, he really did not take as many FT’s as one would think, possible reluctance to get to the line? … Post skills are fantastic, though adding a nice bank shot or hook shot might be an area of focus to further diversify his offense

Spesking of Randle
Lakers (http://bleacherreport.com/los-angeles-lakers) general manager Mitch Kupchak set about ensuring Randle, 20, was engaged mentally by assigning the rookie to write up reports about Lakers games. Randle would break down the game quarter by quarter, detailing what the Lakers did right or wrong, dissecting the opponent's game plan and focusing especially onmatchups at Randle's power forward position.

And while he was hurt the Lakers turned him into a newspaper editor...so he can even further think his way through the game..
“Since last summer, I have spent countless hours watching and talking about basketball with Kobe,” Randle wrote for The Cauldron. “Not many people get that kind of opportunity, but it’s allowed me to study the game in a way I never could when I was actively playing it, and think about the path to development in more nuanced ways.”
Who knows, he could be better than TD.....

The attractiveness of Los Angeles is obvious. The 19-year-old out of the University of Kentucky would get to learn from Kobe Bryant (http://www.cbssports.com/nba/players/playerpage/6496/kobe-bryant), who gave him a pep talk three years ago when Towns played for the Dominican Republic's national team against Team USA.
He'd also become the future face of the franchise for a team that has a long history of building around great centers. Fellow former Wildcat Julius Randle (http://www.cbssports.com/nba/players/playerpage/2135560/julius-randle) would be next to him in the frontcourt, and the Lakers are sure to make a run at the big names in free agency next summer.

One note in the Sports Illustrated article discusses how Okafor likes to emulate San Antonio Spurs legend Tim Duncan. That's not to say he's going to become one of the best post players in NBA history, but rather, it illustrates the type of game he prefers to play.
He's not overly flashy and doesn't demand attention. Yet when you look at the box score after the game, he's usually pretty close to 20 points and 10 rebounds. Duncan was a far more polished defender coming out of college than the Duke product is, though.
Keep in mind...he's coming out after his freshman year...whereas Duncan played 4 yrs in college

I'm not translating anything. Just the facts here. Jim played four years in college and never made it to the title game let alone winning it. This kid did it in his first season, while Jim struggled in his first season at Wake. At 19, this kid is way ahead of Jim as far as skill level. In fact... there aren't many guys in the pros that man the block the way this kid does already. Oh... Jim has a 7'3 wingspan and this kid has a 7'5. Whoever gets this kid has a dominate big for years to come if he stays healthy. No one can predict he'll be as good as Jim. Hell... no one saw Jim being as good as he became. We all thought he was the second coming of Brad Daugherty and Benoit Benjamin.

He actually LOOKS like Duncan.

I'm not translating anything. Just the facts here. Jim played four years in college and never made it to the title game let alone winning it. This kid did it in his first season, while Jim struggled in his first season at Wake. At 19, this kid is way ahead of Jim as far as skill level. In fact... there aren't many guys in the pros that man the block the way this kid does already. Oh... Jim has a 7'3 wingspan and this kid has a 7'5. Whoever gets this kid has a dominate big for years to come if he stays healthy. No one can predict he'll be as good as Jim. Hell... no one saw Jim being as good as he became. We all thought he was the second coming of Brad Daugherty and Benoit Benjamin.
I saw Daugherty not Benjamin, but I watch a lot of ACC. UCLA and UNC are my favorite NCAABBall teams ...

Duncan was really good at Wake and they had some other talent there was a skinny big that was a year or two behind Duncan (woods?) but he never amounted to much ...
Duncan never had a great guard in college and that is why he never went deep in to the tournament.

tbh I understand Lakers fans are excited by the idea to draft a new Tim Duncan and not a new Kobe Bryant
They finally came to reason :lol

This is not your finest work. Everyone knew Tim was a franchise cornerstone. Everyone. People here, including yourself, don't even know if you want LA to draft Jahill.

Jahill looks like Drakes brother.
