 Call me crazy. This kid is not even fair. Keep Wiggins, Keep Parker, This kid is 18, he's 6'11" 275 pounds he's got a 7'5" wingspan and best of all It's not because he's the best athlete you have ever seen in your life, It's because he plays like a super strong super sized  Tim Duncan, This kid will be so good barring injury it's scary.

 If we get Okafor we win a title within five years. Heck maybe sooner if we could lure someone else here, hell, a Celts fan can dream, Can't he?

The next Tim Duncan was Anthony Davis.

Okafor isn't even listed in the top 2 in some mock drafts i'm seeing.

Tim Duncan made the All-Star and All-Defensive team in his rookie season. Okafor might make the all-star but his defense is suspect to even be mentioned as an all-defensive team candidate.

So you're calling him crazy?

 LarBrd, What mock drafts are you looking at. I'll bet you 4.5 Tommy Points he goes top two. He's going number one.

Duncan averaged 3.8 blocks per game as a freshman and Okafor is currently at 1.6.  I don't think he has the same talent or potential defensively as Duncan.  His fundamentals on offense do remind me of him though.

  Duncan played 4 years of college.

I like his game but I think Al Jefferson, not Tim Duncan. Tough to compare a kid 6 games into his college career to the best PF of all time. He has his hands full tomorrow night against Wisconsin and Big Frank....

What are you talking about?

He is not the next Duncan. Maybe a more mobile Jefferson

I agree he is going to be really good but not Duncan/KG level.

To me

Davis will be on Duncan/KG/Shaq level

Okafor will be the next step down ala C-Webb

Like others have said I see him being a slightly bigger quicker Big AL. Don't get me wrong still a franchise changing dominate big but not an all time great. Any one who thinks he isn't the #1 pick is absolutely crazy. I am really looking forward to Duke vs Wisconsin with Wed to see him head to head with Kaminsky. I think this draft will have a clear top 3 with #1 Okafor, #2A Towns, and #2B Mundiay.

Couldn't have said it better myself. This is exactly why tanking is the ONLY way to go for the Celtics. Out tank Philly, out tank the Lakers. We need to be the worst team in the NBA and our prize is Okafor or Towns. Two dominant big men.

Yup Davis is the newest Superstar. And I think J. Parker is going to be one too.

Oka. Could be a good one .....if his head is right and he doesn't get injured.
