Warriors have big men that run the floor and shoot mid range? Green isn't a big, he's just playing the 4 or 5 because they run small lineups. He wouldn't be able to defend, say, Pau in the post, Bynum in the post (when he was good obviously). Okafor will be like that, and if you go big against a small team, you're gonna have a good day.
I mean, I would want KAT over Okafor obviously, but Okafor is my second guy because fuck guards.


They have bogut.... A true 7 footer that is an amazing defender and hustles on defense..

Okafor is terrible on defense, can't shoot at all, and has little athleticism.

I'm saying, Bogut isn't fast, isn't shooting the mid. You listed those two abilities first.

Bogut runs the floor way better than jahlil.

Did you not watch march madness? Whenever jahlil had someone with similar size against him, he got rekt.

The dude will not live up to the hype.

You can always get someone to run the floor better and all he needs is to focus on his conditioning and defense.
I rather have that over a guard in this draft. We have our PG already, why draft another?

Russell could play off the ball.

Tbh if we don't get towns I wouldn't mind trading down to like 5 or 6 and taking Justice Winslow.

I will not buy into a couple of games. NCAA is short, and not comparable to NBA.

He gets destroyed whenever there's a guy of similar size on him. He doesn't hustle. He can't shoot. He's not athletic. He doesn't protect the rim or play defense at all.

Wtf do u like this guy so much for lol?
