Okafor?

[FOWLER267]

Watching the Puke /UNCHEAT game and I admit to pulling for Puke .

That's the only game for Duke that I have watched but was not impressed by Okafor. I really think he should twist an ankle or feign sickness if UK and Duke end up playing cause it looked to me like WCS and Kat will both kill him around the basket and knock him off the #1 draft spot.

You have to be a troll.

Not at all. Maybe he had a slow game but I thought I saw weakness that could be exploited by our bigs.

Okafor does not have a complete game. He exploits smaller players and is a poor post defender.
By the time players are at the combine, it will be clear that KAT is the first overall pick.

I'm guessing that probably did not come across the way you wanted it to. JO will not be scared to play us.

 

[FOWLER267]

Maybe it did. I'm not hoping he get's hurt at all. My point was , based on the one game I have watched was that we have a couple guys who could expose His' weaknesses. Possibly to the point of hurting His' draft prospects a notch or two.

Okafor has impressed me all season. Whether Towns is better or not has no bearing on how terrific Okafor is.

I'm pretty sure most NBA scouts have watched every game he's played in college. They know what his strengths and weaknesses are and most would still take him with the #1 pick.

Any team that you can single out ONE player that is their bread and butter does not faze me any year, much less this year.

Yes, one player could go off in a game but that team usually does not win the hardware. There are exceptions too (Kimba/UConn) but not the norm.

We have dealt with the Tim Duncans, Boguts and Kaminskies in the past with much less talent.

These teams (Gonzaga/Wiscy/Duke) etc are one bad lunch away from elimination if their star is not 100% every single night.

Virginia winning without its main scorer and the quick guards of Arizona are more problematic than the one trick ponies in my opinion.

Duke's a one trick pony? Have you ever heard of Tyus Jones, Quinn Cook or Justice Winslow?

Watch more basketball.

I was rooting for Duke to beat the cheaters. It was nice gong down the stretch knowing your team was going to get any and all calls they needed to win the game.

It can't always come easy getting double teamed constantly. Yet he's looked good enough to win an unprecedented ACC ROY and ACC POY award. When you double though it means somebody is open somewhere....

Dude is shooting close to 67% from the field. When's the last time someone in a power conference wast at that clip? Let alone a freshman? I looked at a couple players really quickly who I thought might have a shot and none of them did. That list included:

Anthony Davis (closest; he was at about 63%. Think he took more jumpers than okafor did though).
Jared Sullinger
Patrick Patterson
Tyler Hansbrough
Karl Towns (duh)
