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.

I just see him more than a traditional, back to the basket center. I think he could check all the boxes you need for the offense and defense.

I just don't jive with the whole, "let's pick apart a guys game and ignore the potential" way of thinking. So Okafor can't play defense... Murray and Hield can shoot, but not play defense. Dunn can play defense and not shoot. But everyone assumes they can adapt and get better in those aspects, but Okafor is written off

How does that make any sense?

Now, if you just don't want to spend a money on a center after the bad signings of the past, ok, I understand that. Address the wing first and look for another opportunity to land a center
