Jah can score the rock on anybody. He's just not athletic enough to play defense where his 7'0" frame becomes a paltry 6'6". Contrast that with Zion whose 6'6" frame plays 7 foot tall. That said, there's plenty of room for Okafor in this league.

Player post game interviews wearing masks are funny. LOL
Suddenly they are all kakashi. -
07-23-2020, 07:50 AMPELICANSFANThat's why I want to see him try to see if in case, he has extended his range.Quote:

In case anyone missed the scrimmage, it is on youtube in 4 separate videos. One video for each quarter.

Jahlil Okafor can play. At least on offense. He can be at least a bench scoring backup center. I will die on this hill.

Lol. But seriously he had some really nice highlights last night. Especially "this season" when he has been put in the starting lineup he has had big numbers. He's getting to that Etwan Moore level of strangely unguardable. -
07-23-2020, 09:57 AMpelafanaticHe can't play. He crushed backups to the backups last night, but his net rating on the season is like -1000. Don't fall into this trap again. He may actually be the worst defending big in the entire NBA and hes a total ballstopper on offense.Quote:

Pels should be in the postseason every year moving forward and they need to put guys on the roster who can help in that season -
07-23-2020, 11:09 AMPELICANSFANI like Okafor as a deep bench player and I root for him, but this roster is getting crowded with depth (barring a trade). His roster spot may be needed when considering adding possibly Didi and at least 1 draft pick.Quote:
