Jahlil Okafor = Tim Duncan

[J-dog]

He does look like a really, really nice player. Very quick feet for a player of his size. Bright future, for sure.

Skip Bayless tweeted the same thing last night. Make of it what you will.

That sounds exactly like something Skip Bayless would say..... and I don't mean that as a good thing.

And if the Lakers get him it will be very similar to when the Spurs drafted Duncan.

Spurs drafted Duncan after a year in which they lost an abnormal number of games because David Robinson missed the entire season. With Robinson they were at least a .500 team. The Lakers just suck. Unless you are saying 40yr old Steve Nash is equivalent to Robinson and will come back at 42 to win the first 2 of 5 titles?!

Better comparison. Very polished offensive game, leaves something to be desired in other aspects (not to say that those couldn't be developed).

The trio of Okafor, Jones, and Winslow looks very strong.

And so much fun to watch. I feel dirty enjoying any Duke team as much as I do this one.

I must say Okafor is really good, but he should have been called for an offensive foul on almost all his post moves. Always hooks the defender with off arm to get around

He had 5 rebounds and just didnt seem to make a huge impact defensively. more jefferson than duncan.

This is what I see, he has awesome footwork and post moves, is a good passer out of the post with huge hands. For being so big he isn't much of a rim protector and isn't a great rebounder. He should be great this year in college but he will not be a star at the next level.

Well if OKAFOR = DUNCAN, and CAULEY STEIN = GARNETT, I'm not sure why we are going to even play this year, let's just all sit back and watch the greatness happen.

I mean, this Russell-Chamberlain type here
