Its only a partially guaranteed deal so there is a chance he might not even make the team. If NOLA was confident he could contribute, they would have given him a fully guaranteed deal.
Ouch. Pretty bad for a #3 pick.
Call me crazy but I think if he was drafted 10 years earlier he would have been an all star by this point in his career. That’s how much the game has changed in the past couple years - just no room for bigs like him anymore.
He'd definitely be in someone's rotation but I doubt he'd be an all star. I'm not even sure he'd be a starter. He's just so bad defensively, and doesn't rebound. The game has changed a lot but you've always needed strong work ethic to make it in the NBA and Okafor does not appear to have it.
