3. Jahlil Okafor
Previous Rank: 3
Jahlil Okafor is now out for the year after surgery to repair a torn meniscus. With his season over, he has basically been all he was promised to be offensively while proving equally as frustrating on the defensive end often.
Okafor still has an array of post moves and skills that take years for most big men to incorporate into their games, and he has a soft touch and feel around the basket that cannot be taught at all. He is an the anchor to an offense, but it has to be wondered if he is not out-of-place in this newfound era of NBA basketball.
Okafor is a strong back to the basket player, but will he always be the focus of an offense when the ball tends to linger much more on the perimeter?
Either way, his talent is undeniable and he is a guy who should draw double teams for the next decade.
