JAHLIL
OKAFOR
Jan. 23, 2019 - There's no denying that Jahlil Okafor can fill the stat sheet in conventionally impressive ways. The problem, however, is his ability to keep pace with today's NBA. Sure, the 23-year-old may have suffered disproportionately from the league's transition away from old school back-to-the-basket big men, a phenomenon that's made him somewhat underrated, but if teams don't want to adjust their style to accommodate for his skill set then he's destined for a niche role with inconsistent playing time. Monitor his role in New Orleans, especially with Anthony Davis sidelined, but tread lightly. (@AustinKent)
