I can see both sides of it, so I understand where you are coming from. I don't know if the rebounding will come, but what is the number that makes him an adequate rebounder? 10? A guy like KG didnt become that elite rebounder until he was 22. Or maybe, Okafor just doesn't have to be a double digit rebounder? Going back to Amare; he wasn't really a good defender, but he was electric on offense and an adequate rebounder. So maybe just something in between will suffice

Dude, using GSW is a terrible example



Yes, we are obsessed with matching the talent a team like GS has, and it's near impossible. Even the PHO comp is crazy, as those teams were loaded with good players.

There is no exact blueprint - we wont have a guy be our Curry, or Bogut, or Steve Nash, or whoever. We need to just build the best way we can with the resources available to us

There definitely isnt an exact blueprint but we do have some strong guidelines. Three point shooting, a good amount of willing passers, mostly two-way players, etc. Plus we have a system coach so it gives us a bit more specifications for what we need to acquire.

Which is why I am skeptical of a guy like Okafor being a core piece. He seems like a guy that would be borderline great if he came into his peak 10 years ago. I admit though, I haven't got to watch a ton of the guy so I am certainly open to persuasion.
