Biggest problem I have with Okafor is hes a pretty awful rebounder for such a big guy.
This duo is going to be beastly in the years to come once they develop. Almost makes the Joel draft selection okay. I think a lot of people have forgotten about Noel, but he looks like a defensive beast in his second year.. the perfect compliment to an offensive-focused 4 like Okafor.
One more good draft selection, and look out..

What happened to Joel? dude was overrated but if he led to Okafor you can't be too mad
Turnovers
I think that will be fixed with time though. Alot of rookies struggle in that department. You don't magically become a better rebounder though, I mean you can improve, but not by leaps and bounds.
Imagine them with that sweet Lakers pick. I can't even contain my excitement at seeing the legacy of kobe being the kinging of hinkie
he's perfectly good, Noel is the designed rebounder, he is the one who has to block out people and rightfully so, he is huge.
They are running two centers. Okafor blocks out. Noel grabs the rebound.
Okafor's rebounding rates were similar to Towns' in college. He actually had a slightly better offensive rebounding rate (contested) and slightly lower defensive rebounding rate (largely uncontested).
Oakeem highlights
If Embiid ever plays a meaningful minute at this point, it's gravy for the Sixers. If he can turn into an energy big off the bench, even better.
I just think it's more like a 60-70% chance he never gets healthy enough to make an impact.
They should ship embid and get a pick in my opinion. Don't mess with the chemistry you're building. Problem is he has to show the worth of being shipped.
The future is BRIGHT, the Nerlen Noel one man fastbreak:
He reinjured his foot.
