Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan0307, post: 1232105, member: 1743"] I think people are getting a little out of control with Okafor. He's a good offensive player and i know he isn't a finished product, but lets pump the breaks a bit on how great he is. He's not nearly a good defensive player yet, and doesn't block shots at the rate you would expect out of a top center. There are a lot of big men in college better defensively than Okafor. Roc is better defensively than Okafor. The comparisons to Duncan are ridiculous. Duncan is an all timer. He never blocked less than 3.3 shots a game at wake. I know he was 5-15 vs Memphis the other night, but Duncan is also a career 70 percent foulshooter in both the NBA and college. Yes, I think Okafor is going to be a great offensive player, but I don't know if he will ever be a good enough defensive player to be a dominant power forward or center in the NBA. [/QUOTE]
