Okafor

Does anyone know why after pretty much starting Okafor at the 5 for 19 games and did damn well, all of a sudden pretty much get benched??

Because we are playing our playoff lineups for the most part.
Okafor did great for us in a time where we were struggling after the Cousins injury, Niko was brand new, and we need someone to log bigs minutes.

But with the coming of Diallo getting into the rotation, and Niko being our other big for the playoffs, his minutes are going to be limited.

What I like about Okafor, is that if/when he is called upon in the playoffs, he will be ready to go and not be scared of the moment.
