His ability to track his guy and block and alter shots is special. Okafor was special, too, but Clingan just ate up so much floor on the defensive end. I think it was in the Illinois game he had 2 or 3 blocks in a minute and after that, nobody on the other team wanted any part of him. Guys would get a step, but didn't continue on all the way because of his presence. Part of what made Okafor special aside from his timing and discipline, was guys get a step and a 6'9'' guy but don't realize he can get up to the top of the backboard like it's nothing. I just want that intimidation factor, but if there's no Clingan, I would be happy with Okafor in there. [/QUOTE]
