True Lakers Fans

We have got a huge sample size now, 65+ games. Here are the numbers -
Okafor 17.5 Points, 7.0 Rebounds, 1.2 Assists, 50.8 FG%, 68.6 FT%, 1.2 Blocks, 0.4 Steals, 3's made - 1 (team record is 8-56)
Towns 17.7 Points, 10.2 Rebounds, 1.7 Assists, 54.5 FG%, 82.3 FT%, 1.8 Blocks, 0.7 Steals, 3's made - 21 (team record is 20-45)
Russell 13.5 Points, 3.5 Rebounds, 3.5 Assists, 42.7 FG%, 71.9 FT%, 0.2 Blocks, 1.2 Steals, 3's made - 112 (team record is 14-52)
Porzingis 13.9 Points, 7.3 Rebounds, 1.2 Assists, 42.1 FG%, 84.5 FT%, 1.9 Blocks, 0.8 Steals, 3's made - 70 (team record is 27-39)
-I would give it to Towns based on everything but Towns is playing with Wiggins which makes things easier. Okafor has a pile of crap in Philly and still scores just as much. Nothing really sticks out to me that Towns is so much better than Okafor other than FT%. Okafor even shoots above 50%. Russell clearly stands out when making 3's but he's a Guard.

Towns by a mile.
Jahlil is a bad player with good numbers.
Porzingis is overrated.
Devin Booker is slept on

3peat read up on Okafor.
No defense. None. Those blocks are overrated.
Look at Pau's numbers and the Bulls record.
Look at Cpusin's numbers and the Kings record.
Bugs don't have the same value.

Okafor gets 2 and gives up 3

I agree with you, I would give it to Towns but not by a mile. Okafor got a raw deal and isn't happy playing for that crap team in Philly, it's also a nasty city by fans toward their players. If I thought I was getting drafted by them I would either stay in College 1 more year or play across seas The weather from there from November through April stinks too. At least here in Indy we only have 3 bad months winter wise, it has been great so far in March

D'Angelo ALL day

Okafor didn't get a raw deal.

He isn't that good.

He plays one end of the floor. Doesn't draw fouls. Doesn't get assist.

The only way to build around a big is 2009 Magic in today's NBA.
Even Anthony Davis will struggle to win consistently.


Okafor isn't near one of those guys defensively.

Jahlil out with knee injury.

Lakers made the right pick

They'll probably give it to Porky New Yorky.

Porzingis has had a surprising season.

I haven't seen the injury yet but will search for it. That could happen to anyone. Look at what happened to Randle last season but I am still glad we picked him.

Randle should get Most Improved

He's out 6 weeks. Probably will shut it down the rest of the season is my guess. It's the same injury Blake has. Nothing major. By the way playing in Philly has to be like being in hell Okafor has very little chance to succeed there. Nasty fans, bad ownership, terrible team. Has been bad for years. If Ben gets drafted by them he is screwed.
