Jahlil Okafor
Jahlil Okafor impressed in the two Summer League games he played in Las Vegas. His ability on the offensive end lived up to the hype. He has incredible footwork, especially with his back to basket. He has good court vision and can hurt the opponents that try to double team him.
He has averaged 18.5 points and 8.5 rebounds thus far. He can get pushed around by opponents and doesn’t rebound great outside his area. He has been better on defense than I expected. He showed good ability to move even against more mobile big men, like Kristaps Porzingis.
