Looks like Eddy Curry with more upside currently.

He's going to be a legit.

Only knock i've seen is not a big time rebounder and shot blocker. But he's posted decent numbers there so far at Duke.

Would like to see the Knicks when the lottery and get him.

He should be the number one pick in the draft. He wont reach Duncan status but that has more to do with circumstances

was a bit too young for McHale, but the only guys I've seen with a better post game are Olajuwon and Duncan.

Even ignoring how obvious AD is as the heir to that title, I just don't see Okafor ever getting it. When's the last time a non-really athletic center was anywhere approaching the best player in the NBA? Marc Gasol is about as close to that as you can get.

Their offensive game aren't comparable. Curry was a big bodied dunker and that's all he had. Okafor's game is leap years ahead of what Curry's was.

Except Tim Duncan has exceptional length and is a very good shot blocker. Oh and he's not really a center.
