So one missed shot away from shooting 50% nullifies the fact that he had 21 and 12 while keeping okafor in foul trouble all night? Wiscy lost because dekker was nowhere to be seen while the two guards were hot for duke.
If we're talking about busts, I'm going to look straight at Okafor. Okafor is a bad defender who cant make a shot outside of 8 feet and he cant make a FT. He's very slow in transition as well and this is a terrible combo for today's NBA. He reminds me of Sheldon williams in that he relied on overpowering people in the ncaa's. He won't have that luxury in the NBA. Atleast kaminsky has actual offensive skill and can score in a variety of ways.
I agree with all your points, even the bust factor for Okafor. The only thing I would caution against is hes 19. Looks to me like he was gassed , nerves probably? He just didnt look like he belonged there until the last 5 min of the game.
6'10'', 270lbs, he prob needs to shed 10-15 lbs and get a little quicker. I remember the knocks on Ant Davis coming out of UK , he had no offensive game whatsoever. Didnt he have like 2 points the Chip game? Not saying Okafor can be Davis , but, I expect Okafor to grow and get better. The thing Davis had going for him was that he was elite defensively, we didnt see that last night out of Okafor.
