Not with zizic involved
I'd like to see what he turns into
But just the pick? Sure
I agree with this.
Except for Giles, there is no big (c/PF) in the top 20 that has Okafor's potential. And with his TWO major knee surgeries, who knows when (or if) Giles will be ready to contribute at the NBA level.
Forgetting bigs, and even going for BPA, I'm still not convinced about this draft class and how much it's being hyped. I'll admit, that I have only watched NCAA stuff and there are a bunch of internationals in the Top 30s of many mocks.
Okafor has been in a REAL suck place. Bring him here where he is needed (not the case in Philly), and let Crowder, Smart and Bradley kick his ass (no one there like those guys in Philly to hold him accountable), and we'll have something special.
