Okafor isn't a bad rebounder, nor is it even near any of his biggest weaknesses, so I'm not really sure how debating that Okafor is a superior rebounder to Porzingis is all that relevant. I did not argue that Porzingis was going to be the next Andre Drummond, I just said that he projects to be a rebounder, and I don't see any stats that really infer otherwise.
I mean if we were to compare him to someone like Dirk as a mismatch PF, he pretty much kills 20 year old Dirk on glass and Dirk grew to be a good rebounder. Porzingis has shown potential to be a good offensive rebounder, and at the very least an average defensive rebounder, I don't really see how it is incorrect to say that prime Porzingis can probably rebound.
Suppose it's because I don't consider Okafor a good rebounder nor Porzingis as an extension of that; although, I do believe they both have potential to be. I seem to have misinterpreted what you meant by can as in the present rather than as well as possibility in the future.
