He's been measured anywhere from 7'5" to 7'6.25" the last 2 years http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Jahlil-Okafor-6469/
Most measurements have Okafor at 6'11" and he has a wingspan of 7'6" which will allow him to play just as big as Gasol who has a 7'3" wingspan....
Okafor and Towns are 'high floor high ceiling' prospects, so I'm not sure why we'd want to go 'low floor high ceiling' with Porzinga, but if we're...

I'm happy for him and I'm glad he's back.
That's my thought process too, but it's a high risk route to take, and I'm not sure why'd we do that when we'll have a longer window with Okafor.

That's a tough one. I usually prefer specialists (players that are elite in one skill) but given our core, it's hard to pass up on a shooter. I...
Hmm, RHJ or Anderson... hard choice.
wtf :D
I don't disagree. Stretch 4's are valuable. I'm just saying they are overvalued. Except for Dirk, all the players you listed are 3rd best or worse...
Great post, I agree with everything you said. With the Kobe era ending, we are in a ridiculously lucky position of drafting Okafor who can put us...
Didn't mean to attack you in any way, but I'm so sick of the media overhyping trends like 'stretch 4s' and 'perimeter-dominated league' which are...
I just feel they play the right way. When did the NBA's offense advance so rapidly beyond our understanding? Modern principles may get you...
So much for the 'modern' game :think: 'Traditional big men aren't as valuable as they once were.' Yeah right.
