People just wanna jump on Jah, he's showed his skills man, every rookie is a work in progress.
Didn't hear none of these complaints when he dropped 20 the other day.

My assessment includes the 20 point game. Dude got his shot put back in his face about a good 3 times in that game because he was slow getting the ball to the basket.
JJ is right though. He's 19. It's summer league. I'm being that guy. I obviously want him to be great. I'm just speaking generally though when I say I don't love his game.

SL isn't the end all be all but Vaders evaluating Okafor just like he should. SL is about how you look, not numbers. Obviously it doesn't mean he won't get better but the stuff he's struggling with aren't easily correctable when playing against better more physical athletes, smarter defenders, etc. I'm seeing a lot of Brook Lopez to his offensive game which is good and bad. Brook gets away with some crazy stuff because he's 7'1, is pretty explosive, shoots 75 to 80% from the line and has elite touch around the rim. Then again, it's tough for big men to play with garbage guards so can't blame Okafor too much.

I know he's going to be at the team canada traning camp for olympic qualifying, not sure if that overlaps with summer league.

Jordan Mickey should make the Celtics roster. Kid is decent, has good size.

Okafor,just made a great move followed by a great pass for an assist next possession. He's gonna be fine.

Its brutal watching McRae and Grant not feed him the rock
You don't run like that in Summer League though.
This is a showcase tournament, it's not even about the win.

Hunter. 
I know it's a byproduct of his game, but I don't like the way Okafor holds the ball and his unorthodox floaters. His footwork and awareness is insane though.

I read that one of the reasons the lakers passed on oak is that they viewed him as a 4 and I'm starting to see that. I think he'll be ok but it is kind of surprising how he's not pushing anybody off the block with his size

he started playing better pretty much the minute after i posted that.
still love his game, he just hasn't figured out you gotta hunt your shot in summer league.

Okafor's offensive game is impressive. He had a play early in the 1's quarter where he drove to the rim from the top of the key, lost possession of the ball for a second, but still got the shot off (and it went in). If he can develop a good mid-range, I think he could end up being something along the lines of a Al Jefferson.
