It mostly depends on his shot. Okeke 3 point shooting seems much better and it should open up his game more. Okeke is also longer and better rim protector which is getting more and more important from wing/forward positions.
It would be great if we could start two good shooters at 3 and 4.
also he has a post game, he could be a matchup nightmare if a coach uses him correctly which i'm nervous about with clifford.
Nobody standing at 6'7 in nba will be used as post player becausae obvious reaosns. 6'7 is average size of nba player. So he is not nightmare to anybody from matchups perspective.
Not to mention tehniqual side of modern baskedtball, where post play in general is obsolete. Vast majority ( like, over 80% of them) players who are attemping post ups, have PPP lower than 1,00. That's horrendus return value from possession.
And ones that have positive results form it at respectful volumen are almost all:
a) centers
b) allstar level players
Okeke might have been most overhyped non lottery pick in history of this franchise. Guy didn't play basketball for 2 years, guy was 14 ppg second year college player who would probably go undrafted if he went one and done rout. Oh btw, there was ACL tear too. Like where da hell this crazy optimism comes from? Isaac was 12 ppg freshmen and it's clear that in his first 2 years in nba he had no offense whatsoever. What makes anybody think 14 ppg second year college player, after having ugly injury, required surgery and year of recovery will just come in guns blazing?
Having 8-9 ppg, 35% for 3 rookie year would be nice. You are not getting allstar.
