But those bad rebounding numbers really make me doubt he becomes an adequate defender.


Okafor avg 8.5 rebounds as a freshman at Duke. That's not too too bad. Only 7 as a rookie which is concerning,i'd agree. But I just look at the team he was on and the direction that team took with openly tanking. I wouldnt put him in Brook Lopez company yet.

My concern with him is his maturity issues. Again, I think if he were on a team with strong leadership and direction that will correct itself.

Bottom line is the dude can play. He's what, 20 years old? Gimme that dude who puts up 17.5 with 7 rebounds and over a block a game as a rookie. Plus it's less we have to depend on Asik.

This team has strong leadership for the 2 games a year when someone bumps AD hard enough to piss him off but not so hard that he misses the next 5 games. Part of the reason this board is so in love with Hield is the leadership void.
