Embiid's health and picking OK4 over the 7 foot Latvian unicorn will ultimately be what tanks "The process".

You can't determine how someone is as a defender from one sequence.
Although there is more out there to show he is a bad defender, I wonder if he'd put the effort in to defense, if he was on a team that wasn't tanking. Ya know, he'd just following the process. Let the other team win.

As time goes on he looks like a bust. He can be a role player but at 3 and in that draft, he's a bust.

I would legit bench him the entire game if I were the coach and seen that sequence.

Lets not forget this is the same guy who did this once he was signed.

This doesn't look nearly as bad when you see a different angle. There is a table right under. I do remember the hoopla at the start of the season over this, though. Good times.

He needs to grow up and behave like a professional but he clearly has the tools to be better than this. I think if I was his teammate I would have taken the ball and beaned it right at his head.

Re: Is Jahlil Okafor The Worst Defensive Big Man In The League?
Has he always shown this much lack of effort on defense?? I haven't watched much Philly ball unless it's against the raps, but that is just inexcusable

Okafor needs to get himself to the E.R. asap. This sloth pulse has got be like 30-33 tops.
Theres like nothing working. Feet,hands,brain, nothing. Defibrillator followed by 100 ccs of levothyroxine.

It still looks like there is frustration in that video
And the other video really looks like there is 0 effort, and doesn't care at all

He seems to have forgotten how to score this season as well.

Maybe he's worried if he jams a finger the sixers will hold him out for the rest of the season.

He has as good an argument as any one else does for it.

Jahlil just keeps on reminding me of Joe Barry Carroll although JBC at least had a left hand on offense.

Thats James Harden level defense. But winning changes people's perception and very few picked on Harden this year.
