Will he be a scorer first, or a distributor? Will his defense improve? We haven't had much to praise so far, and as the losses pile up his impact will be scrutinized more and more.

Having Jordan Clarkson already, I feel the Lakers should have probably taken Okafor in the draft and used the money they spent on Bass and Roy on Rondo.

Okafor made Towns look like dog doo doo, blocking him, making jumpers over him, etc. I seen the highlights. Wolves won the game but it was only because Wiggins scored 32 Points and bailed their ass out. 2 years in a row I am right who should've went #1. I said Wiggins in 2014, Okafor in this past Draft. Ben Simmons should be #1 in 2016 and it isn't even close. NEXT!! Everyone can jump all over me all they want but I cannot believe we passed on Drafting Okafor. Makes me fucking sick. Imagine if we had Rondo, Clarkson, Kobe, Randle, and Okafor as our starters? Rondo had 20 Assists tonight too. We should've signed Rondo and Drafted Okafor. Until someone can prove me wrong other than saying have patience than you have no right to bash my opinion. I know Philly is 0-15 but Okafor is on a team that absolutely stinks and everyone knows it.

Sup 3peat.
First off, thanks for not making football comparisons.
Second, Of course Okafor may end up being the better player. Shit Poorstinkus er whatever hi Knick ass name is looks all worldly right now. But, Russel was chosen for his higher ceiling and that will take a good while to reach. It was a risk either way.
Lastly, to your point that Okidokes plays on a shitty team. Maybe Oka goes to a solid team and doesn't pile up stats. See Kobe Bryant playing behind Eddie Jones. Maybe Russel goes to a vet team and that leadership (or better shooting for fucks sake) makes HIM look all worldly too. In other words, the team you play for does directly affect how good you are perceived to be initially but not necessarily the team's record. I hope they got it right with Russel.
