NBA: Jahlil Okafer Will Be The NBA Version of Ryan Leaf and Jamarcus Russell

While I agree Okafor is a bit overrated at this point, he is nowhere near the level of the two scrubs you mentioned.

I agree Al Jefferson is a fairly good comparison at this point.

yep very good. just because he doesn't play like ibaka doesn't mean he doesn't defend. he contests shots very well, gets his feet set and reads defenses fairly well. again, he looks very much like the tim duncan of now on defense. the only knocks on his game right now is the fact that he is slow, making a fast paced game a little non sensical and the fact that his screens suck. other than that he is either competent or fantastic. If you'd have watched him, say, yesterday, you would agree.

Idiot, he's more like Brook Lopez than Tim. They both can get buckets & uses their length to contest shots but they are mediocre rebounders for their size, slow footed & don't make their teammates better.

Big Al was a beastly rebounder.

he just rebounded 12+ in back2back games, stop with the rebounding crap.

Eddy curry is a good comparison for now for okafor

Back2back? He only had 6 rebounds against OKC & in a game where Westbrook had 17 rebounds.

This past game he made LMA seem like Moses Malone.

Curry didn't have the same range as Okafor & was a mediocre shot blocker. Okafor is the black Brook Lopez which isn't an insult.

And Towns has now gone 3 straight games without reaching 10 rebs,,,

[Kawhitstorm]

And Towns has now gone 3 straight games without reaching 10 rebs,,,

First off, he has only gone TWO straight games without reaching double figures & he was only the leading rebounder in BOTH games meanwhile Okafor didn't even have half as many rebounds as a point guard

[HemisfairArena]

I stand corrected,,,he did get 11 against G.S.,,,and to say he is the leading rebounder on his team is misleading,,,he only has to compete with old ass K.G. Its like saying Kobrick is the leading assist player in a game because their PG is a joke.

Idiot, he was the leading rebounding in the GAME on EITHER team

LMAO,,,,you don't get it you ing re ,,,he has no one to compete with to grab boards defensively except Bjelica like Oak has Noel grabbing 10/gm. Put Noel next to Towns and Towns would be averaging less than 8/gm.

FOH, dude is getting pounded on his OWN glass. You would be claiming he's getting out rebounded by Muggys if he played alongside midgets.

I actually like that comparison alot. Pretty accurate.

I know Oak isn't the 2nd coming of Rodman, Moses, ect,,,right now on the boards but he lets take everything into account,,Nerlens is a good rebounder when he plays and naturally that's gonna take away for Oak's rebs,,,,Towns gets to run around with an old KG averaging less than 5 reb/gm and Bj averaging around 7,,,we'll see as the season progresses,,

Idiot, according to that logic the wolves should be getting pounded on the glass........but it just so happens that it's the Sixers that get destroyed on the boards.

I thought he was impressive. I think he lacks a bit of confidence but for a rookie he's got great poise and some real moves around the basket. He also is a decent shooter. I'd take him all day over Russell.
