Re: Felix Okpara
Rounds out our 2-way trio: Jamir, Juju, & Felix.
We still have 1 regular-roster slot to fill. & two guys it'd be wise to move on from (Whitmore & Vukcevic).

I think Okpara will be able to play some 4. Could be a good fit actually when Tristan is the 5. But I could see it at times with Sarr as well.
I’m wondering if we’ll see some double big Okpara & Reese together in SL.

Would be smart of them to start test driving it since they plan to play twin towers sets in the regular season. Start inputting the sets for the rooks to get familiar.

I’m with you. Unless something takes place over the summer, those are the two guys that don’t fit what we’re trying to build in one way or another.
Vukcevic as I see it shouldn’t be here unless he’s playing that “microwave player” role from the 4 spot in very limited minutes; I’m sick and tired of people make-believing that he’s even backup C material.

I have completely unrealistic expectations of success for Felix Okpara.
Why? I don't know. But I have a feeling he's going to be terrific.

Me too. There’s a spark of something there that I don’t usually get from our late picks. Watkins had it some. But feels like there’s something special about Okpara.
