Not a perfect fit, but he's absolutely the best talent at 3 available over the guys in the draft.
As far as you know. Until a player taken at 3 or after becomes better, which one almost certainly will. At which point said player will absolutely be the best talent available over Jahlil Okafor.
I'm sorry, but if the Cs are in the market for a one dimensional player with the #3 pick in the draft, I have a problem with that.
You realize this is contradictory, right? lol You can't say "one almost certainly will" become better after having the previous sentence be "as far as you know."
It's a figure of speech. I'll avoid spelling it out to spare myself a wrist slap from the mods.
Your perspective is 'absolute' because you're not an NBA scout, so it's easy to make this claim in a bird-in-the-hand capacity. The point remains.... the Cs should aspire to better with #3, whether via trade or pick.
So we shouldn't draft Okafor because, though he's the best available talent as of this point, some time in the future someone picked three or later could be better than him. I mean, technically it's a valid argument, because due to the sheer volume of players selected three or later, there is a decent chance that someone picked three or later will end up being better than him. However, the chance of us picking that exact player, which there won't be many if any at all, are much lower than the chances of someone actually being better than Okafor, which makes this argument not very strong.
I'll take my chance on the more proven player who has shown that he can actually play at the NBA level rather than taking a much smaller chance on someone who ultimately may be better than Okafor in the future.
