Russell instead of the other big guy. One project big then one no defense big. Not impressed.

I went with Russell. He is the prototypical guard of today's NBA. He can create off the dribble, he has great court vision, he can shoot off the bounce or the catch, and he has a high basketball IQ. His average athleticism is the only reason I don't consider him on par with Towns. It could cause his team some problems defensively, but unlike Okafor it isn't as big of an issue due to the position he plays. He has the size he needs to not be a liability however, so it isn't a huge concern.

I'm a bit surprised to see so many going for Okafor considering the general disdain towards Al on this forum.

Winslow for me. Russel is better for this team right now ... but I think that in 5 years Winslow is going to be killing the NBA.

i picked Russell, Okafor is a very skilled post scorer but he has more holes in his game than Russell IMO.

Russell slightly ahead of Okafor mostly based on needs

Russell. I'm not even sure Okafor would crack my top 10 for this team. We've seen how Al worked out here- imagine how a poor man's Al would work here.

Okafor shouldn't be disrespected by being compared to Jefferson. Jahlil can do post moves without traveling, has a left hand and at least tries on defense. No one is as bad at defense as Jefferson is. NO ONE.
Okafor is worth building a franchise around. I can't really say that about anybody else in this draft right now.
