I'm super high on WCS. I think he is more likely to win a championship than Okafor.
People don't like when I use the word bust with Okafor, so I won't. I just think Okafor is the type of player who will severely limit a franchise. His offensive game will cause him to be considered an essential piece, but I think his defense could kill a team. And I just don't see the lateral quickness to improve there.
I do know that Yao (when healthy) was able to have quite the defensive presence, and I think that is what Okafor needs to try to be. Jeff Van Gundy probably deserves a ton of credit for making Yao a very serviceable low post defender though.

You mean Tom Thibodeau.
