There is no similarity what so ever about the way they play the game. Okafor's activity around the basket is not really that good. He coasts around a lot for a big man; he doesn't really fight for position as he should for a big man. Towns reminds me a lot more of a combo of Garnett/Duncan.
Thank God Fisher is no longer our coach, now let's get Calderon out of here:)

That was a excellent move by Okafor; he needs to do a lot more of that in the post

All the guy does is score in the post. What exactly are you talking about? lol

His only question marks are conditioning, athletism and quickness to defend NBA bigs

Duncan is a better defensive player. Okafor has more agility and handles. Okafor still needs to develop his jumper. I worry about Okafor's effort level on D.

That move was spectacular. His hand size is another perk. With work he might be able to improve his ball handling skills to create havoc as a Center like Gasol does.

Thats because you obviously have never seen Duncan play while he was at Wake Forest.

Not big of a fan as some on this board but he sometimes he does show me flashes of T.Duncan from his College days and now.

Tim wasn't nearly as confident with the ball in freshman year as OK4. Duncan deferred a lot to Randolph Childress that year, from what I recall. But Duncan was light years ahead of OK4 on defense during their freshman years.

Hes not Duncan on the defensive end but he is Duncanesque on the offensive end and I believe he will be a very good rebounder once all is said and done.
Lets be realistic--he had 2-3 guys coming at him every play until the end of the game. When he is 1-1 its simply going to be hard to stop him. I really do think he needs to lose 10-12 pounds and come in at 6-10 260--I think that would really help his help defense which is not exsistant.

You can pencil him in at the 4/5 for the next 10 plus years if he stays healthy. Cornerstone type player.
