    Okafor is going to score a bunch but his teams will be awful defensively.

    He will create an illusion that Philly is getting better with his 20-10 nights.

    VLADE had to get Boogie his boy. Karl is going to get murdered at some point this year.

    Can't believe Justice is falling. That's going to be the pick of the draft.

    You obviously can't play all three at once, so either They are worried about Embiid or they are going to trade one of the three.
    If Embiid is toast, they have Noel/Okafor as the frontcourt which is nice.

    He looked like the best player on that Duke team to me. I hope that Presti can somehow trade up and nab him.

    Agreed. Okafor and Noel is a really nice combo.

    It's just weird to have to find minutes for all three next year if Embiid is indeed healthy.

    Hornets are reportedly considering multiple trades for the 9th pick. Hopefully one of them is the THunder for Winslow.

    I'm a big fan of Winslow. he was their best player at times last year.

    neither can step out and shoot. I think I heard okafor made two jump shots all year.

    Okafor is supposedly an excellent passer so I wouldn't worry about spacing that much. Passing fixes that problem almost as much as shooting does.

    If you odn't have to respect the strong side corner then it makes it easier to play defense.

    Now if Okafor gets to the point where he commands a double most of hte time that could change things.
