Best-case scenario:
Bradley proves doubters wrong and plays as a pseudo-jordan, we manage to grab the 8th spot, upset teams and becomes champions. Then Clippers tumble, they win 1st in lottery and we grab Okafor.

You mean the same Elton Brand who went for 18+ and 9+ his first 8 seasons in the league (including 20+ and 10+ in 4 of those season) before his career was derailed by injury.  I'll sign up for that.

Keep in mind Okafor is also 2-3 inches taller than Brand...

 I did not say that was a bad thing, I think that they are both below the rim post position players.   Okafor is better sized.   But that is who he reminds me of , I do not ever see him being a shot blocker.

From 2001-2007 Brand has averaged above 2 blocks per game each of those seasons. People forget how good of a shotblocker he was prior to his injuries.

Am I the only one who thinks of Kevin McHale as an Okafor "best case scenario" comp?  Cross-racial comparisons are always a little wonky, but there's something there

That's interesting and I think it's correct.
