Cool guy. Amazing athlete. Can put a dollar on the top of the backboard and bring back change.

You know how a friend of a less than good looking woman talks up that woman's personality and everything other than her looks? Well Okafor is a nice guy and good teammate.

One of the 5-10 biggest draft day mistakes, by the 76ers, of the last 30 years. And the biggest reason Sam Hinkie has no job in the NBA right now.

So if we are really going to have this thread, then all the Okafor crap that gets generated in basically every other thread will need to be directed here. Just sayin.

If you are a Sixers writer, you write about him when nobody reads about Sixers stuff until atleast the lottery.

Quite frankly, everything about Okafor has been said. Maybe even things Okafor dont know about himself.

Yet, another thread to kick Okafor when he is down. I'm disappointed too but everything regarding Okafor has been examined and micro analyzed to the point of exhaustion.

That is my thoughts.

Teeny bit premature to say this?

Actually, now that I think about it, 5-10 is about right

For some reason I thought you were trying to say he was the worst draft choice of the last 30 years

Biggest bust since Anthony Bennett. Wont fetch a 1st round pick, will probably just be cut before next year.

Are there any Prokafors left, or have they all gone extinct along with low post play?

A prokafor by definition was someone who preferred Okafor to Noel, but Noel is now gone.

I'm an Okafor fan, and still think he is going to be a really good player for someone, but it isn't going to happen here, and he needs a lot of work.
