I don't know why. But I'm not really high on Karl Town Jr. He runs the floor weird.
He's as skilled as any big in this class offensively. Has work to do on defense but is a decent shot blocker and is probably the best passing big in the class. I think he has a higher ceiling than Okafor does.
Also, could some mod change this to 2015 draft discussion? Sounds better than draft propects lol.

Jahlil is throw back good. It's been a while since we're seen a big who likes contact.
J Okafor really impressed me watching him, he is mature beyond his years offensively. Right now if he were in the NBA he would be 1 of the top 5 C's in the league. He is definitely a throw back type of player, which I love. These Bigs in the NBA nowdays play like wussies, except for just a remote few, and even less have any type of power post game. If this kid stays healthy, he is going to be a big time NBA player.
I actually think this year draft class will have more big time NBA players in it than last years when its all said an done. IMO I thought last years draft class was being overrated, and I dont think we will see many superstars from 14's.
Plus this years group of college players have some bigs that in it that could really help the weak C position in the NBA in the future.

The only thing that scares me about Okafor is he almost almost zero explosiveness. Same beef I had with him in HS. He's like what 6'10-6'11 and looks as if he can barely dunk. Doesn't look laterally quick or responsively quick so I think defense might initially be a struggle against NBA guys who can pull him off the box.
Idk, right now he looks like Jared Sullinger at his floor, maybe Al Jefferson at his ceiling. Maybe I'm wrong though.
LOL, Do you watch the NBA? Not many skilled C in the game. I forget what announcer it was, even made the comment he couldnt name 5 NBA C more offensively skilled than Okafor at this time. I think he said only Marc Gasol was the one he could think of off hand. Id say besides Gasol, you have Al Jefferson along with Cousins, that are pretty skilled offensively.
