Too lazy to find the old thread. But wanting to talk hoops.

i have to say this- i am beyond stoked about getting Jahlil Okafor off of waivers just now. I thought None had him. Just watched his body transformation. dude is looking svelte, skilled. he's at like 250 lbs and lean. jumper looks wet. handle looks really good.

i'm saying this-- i think he could be a gamechanger this year. we're talking about a number two pick a few years ago. he's still like 22. he's a big who came in really polished, but soft, overweight, on the wrong team, then he got injured.

NOW- he's two years removed from a meniscus tear (usually takes a while to come back). he said he's been working all summer on lateral quickness and defense and expanding his range.

i think the pellies got a steal in him and Randle both. would much rather have him than Boogie's achilles.

he was coming off a knee injury. just transformed his body.
he's far too young to be given up on.

i'm really stoked on him!

couldn't be different in how they've handled their early career failures.

bennett gave up and essentially realized he didn't love basketball. okafor seems to be going the other direction.

reshaping his body is one thing, but "developing a soft game" (on offense, admittedly) doesn't bode well for his real issue (defense)

and i was a Jahlol truther

until he decides to really get gritty and bust his arse on D, he won't even be mediocre, which severely limits his upside (unless he's on a shite team)

re-shaping his body and working on his lateral quickness could lead to that.

also, if anybody can mop up that dude's messes, it's AD.
