    Thanks for the video Barn. I was so frustrated. I was at work and I wanted to stream the draft through the Uverse app on my phone. I know that streaming usually lags a bit, so I even blocked like every one of my contacts who is into basketball just to make sure I'd be able to watch the pick without getting it spoiled by a text. And then my phone literally froze when Adam Silver said, "With the 2nd pick, the Lakers select ... "

    Looks like he needs corrective lenses. He isn't seeing the basket the same from both sides that much is sure.

    He's left handed, that's not unusual. Left handers shoot better going to their right as they don't have to square up as much. And vice versa for right handers.

    He trained with cp3 leading up to the draft. Scott is happy to have him hope he develops him into a superstar

    so all left handers shot charts look like this? This is lopsided beyond just being left handed I'd think. btw.... where are the midrange shots?

    I know some of you are bummed and I honestly feel bad for Okafor. But I am so happy!

    Welcome D'Angelo! :rofl:

    His midrange shot percentage is about the same actually. Finishes well near the basket too.

    Not concerned with his offense at all to be honest.

    I'm a little concerned about his offense. He had some trouble finishing against length. I think he'll be alright in time, but he'll need a bit to develop I think.

    The last few days, I was all in on Okafor. Shocked!

    But, I gotta remember 2 things: Jerry West said Russell is the best player in the draft and "In Mitch I Trust."

    Leggo!

    Agreed. I really hope people dont think were gonna see a superstar in the first season he needs to adapt and we cant expect him to be our savior on day 1.

    If he does then perfect but if he doesnt we gotta give him time

    Thats the reason im ok with the pick. I was okafor all the way but when youre endorsed by jerry west thats HUGE

    Lets hope hes right

    He will need time to adjust. I expect him to come off the bench behind Kobe and Clarkson. To start the season.
