There is no way I take Towns over Okafor. That would be a huge mistake on any team that passes on Okafor. I'm not saying Towns is going to be a bad player he is going to be good too. But the game Okafor plays is game changing constant doubles are required. In this new age of basketball where everyone is basically a perimeter player and stands out at the three point land. Okafor opens up the entire game for the perimeter players.
I have been saying that his injury slowed Okafor down a lot. I know he is much batter defensive player than what most are judging him by. If you watched him play before the ankle injury you would know. If you watched him based on tournament play you would have seen glimpses of his true potential. Every team plays a different style Towns had the benefit of playing with multiple 7 footers and he can go all out on defense. But he picked up fouls at a very high rate. If he was the only center I guarantee you that his defense would not have been as good he definitely play less aggressive.
