Wanted to remind folks that Okafor played half this season with a huge wrap on his leg after he got hurt. If you look at video--you can see a more explosive player playing without the brace. You can see he gets better lift and has more mobility. He just got over used on a bum leg that never healed. He looked very skinny on that video from ESPN last week--looked like he was 263-267 around there--like hed been training hard.

I think by now, we all know what this kid can do from inside 10 feet of the basket. He has a wonderful lowpost game and can pass the ball. In the NBA defensive coaches can find a way to minimize his touches and render him useless on the floor
Thank God Fisher is no longer our coach, now let's get Calderon out of here:)

1969--It's all about putting the player in the right position. At 6-10.5 267 pounds at the 4--there will a limited amount of players who can check Jahill 1-1. Al Jefferson seems to get the ball just fine.

fishmike--true! He played how many minutes this year without a leg brace and double teams? Who does he look like in this video? I dont have to answer that. And while he might not be that guy--I think you can see with more mobility what he has the ability to do--also looks like a savvy passer.

Yes because the best scorers in the game simply have no answer to that.

I think we'll see a completely different Okafor by the time the Combine comes around. Usually these kids get to work with pro trainers and dieticians who can get them right.
