It was only about 18 months ago that Okafor and Towns were battling for possible #1 pick. We now know that the right guy went #1, but that doesn't mean Okafor hasn't shown some good skills that translate to the NBA game. Clearly he has some issues, but at the right price I would go get him. He would "make the Celtics better", a phrase that DA has used on many occasions.
We don't know that. We're one year into two careers. Let's give them time. That said, I would have taken Towns for sure at #1!
Yes we do. Let's agree to disagree.
yeah, we don't. porzingas could be better than both!
so porzingas has potential but okafor doesn't ?
I think it's fair to say porzingas has stronger potential to be a dynamic player. i seriously doubt there's a single NBA GM who would take Okafor if given the option of either....
The actual comparison here was Okafor to Towns, but if you want to compare Porzingas to Towns, I take Towns right now. However, it would not surprise me if GM's are much more split on that choice than Okafor/Towns.
My guess is that the Towns/Okafor one is 100% towns, and the towns/prozingis one is like 66-75% towns. So yea, even if one GM wanted the zinger, then technically its more split than okafor-towns.
