I know okafor can't jump like griffin but there are similarities in their games that will become apparent over time, griffin isn't a great shot bocker and he's a fair team defender that's what I expect out of oak-- maybe more shot blocking for oak, I expect oak to score 22-25 points a game grab 8-12 rebounds develop the 12 footer Blake has and I think oak will be the same passer griffin is

I expect oka at his peak to be a 25-27 point 10-12 rebound 5-6 assist guy. He's the 2 pick without a doubt and not trade able

Why is Okafor more comparable to Griffin over Towns?

Compared to Okafor, Towns has more athleticism, is a good shot blocker, and already has a midrange shot.

You simply just stated that Okafor can improve. That applies to any player.

Griffin coming into the league had a slew of criticism very similar to Okafor. Cant defend limited range cant block shots poor free throw shooter undersized and all of that was not correlating ultimate effect of a player. There are things Okafor cant do but his ultimate effect as a player will be huge.

Thats funny, because I actually see D.Jordan as a comparison to OK4. Especially if OK4 is playing the Spurs.

Just like D.Jordan, OK4 will be riding the bench in the 4th quarter due to his terrible free throw percentage. Thats my only fear about him. Why let him box you under the basket for an easy 2 pts? The same with D.Jordan....why let him fly in the air for an alley oop. I rather OK4 or D.Jordan beat me from the free throw line, if I was coaching against them. But to OK4's credit, I think his free throw percentage will improve, because he's a natural scorer.

Blake has been overrated since he came into the league. I think he's finally reached his level of expectation that the fans put on him since he stepped on an NBA court. I remember some people was saying they would never trade Blake for Melo straight up. I bet those same people are now regreting that thought. Blake is more of a complete player. Towns is more of a complete player. Melo is a scoring big. OK4 is a scoring big.

Griffen has the shooters the space him out and has really developed a very good mid range game with his ability to handle the ball and penetrate, with this superb athleticism

While OK4 used footwork, his body, and soft touch to score

too bad that blake can't pass like OKFAT

13 assists tonight

Yep, I honestly don't know how or why they have kept winning this season- they have no bench, an aged Crawford, Barnes wasn't playing great this season, Jordan is pretty bad on on offense, they've had injuries to Griffin and now to CP3, but still they win
