[christian1923]

One of the Greatest Rivalries in american sports !:rockon:

[Ariza4three]

Winslow balling

[christian1923]

Tar Heels shooting way to quickly every time down

[Bobcats2013]

Okafor or bust.

[plowking]

What a ridiculous move from Okafor to get out of the double team. That was insane for a guy that big.

[Ariza4three]

Okafor has phenomenal touch. Wow.

[kurple]

winslow has been great

[Bobcats2013]

Whoever gets the 2nd pick should just give up forever.

#OkaforOrBust

[JimmyMcAdocious]

UNC in a spiral lately and the injured up and down the depth chart. Can't even figure out a starting lineup the last 3 games.

Believe me when I say most expect this to be a 15+ win for duke. Looking like it right now...

[kurple]

cook :bowdown: :bowdown:

[christian1923]

Play some damn defense blue devils!

[IGOTGAME]

Whoever gets the 2nd pick should just give up forever.

#OkaforOrBust

I wouldnt say that. There is a chance Okafor isnt the best player in the draft.

[christian1923]

:roll:

[Ariza4three]

This is a good ass game

[Ariza4three]

Lebron curse

[Ariza4three]

[christian1923]

Gotta take care of the dam ball!

[christian1923]

That's what I'm talking about #15!!!! Get big on these boys!!!

[Bobcats2013]

Not even Okafor can save Duke.

[christian1923]

No excuse for getting out hustled :facepalm

[Ariza4three]

Not even Okafor can save Duke.
not when he's playing shitty defense like he has tonight, no.

[atljonesbro]

Refs tryna cheat damn.

[Bobcats2013]

TJONES:bowdown:

[Ariza4three]

GOTY :applause:

[RightTwoCensor]

No foul anywhere

[Bobcats2013]

What a comeback by Duke tho

[christian1923]

This why I love college hoops

[Ariza4three]

OT

[RightTwoCensor]

Okafor with that hands up defense :lol

[christian1923]

Why isn't my boy dick vitale calling the game??

[RightTwoCensor]

Dwight shoots better than this nikka

[navy]

No fouls being called.

[navy]

Travel

[Ariza4three]

Wow. That move Okafor just made.

[ralph_i_el]

Jahlil :bowdown:

I want to believe this kid is going to be great in the NBA.

It will be interesting to see where he ends up. He's likely to be a defensive liability at least to start his career. Will he be able to finish over/around NBA caliber defenders consistently enough to warrant getting lots of looks/PT?

[RightTwoCensor]

Horrible defense with even more horrible offense

[bigkingsfan]

Okafor really the #1 pick, meh what a weak draft.

[navy]

That choke of chokes

[christian1923]

What a game!!!

[Bobcats2013]

If they go to 2Ot....

[kurple]

Okafor really the #1 pick, meh what a weak draft.
was wiggins more impressive?

[IGOTGAME]

was wiggins more impressive?

Embiid was more impressive...Wiggins showed a higher ceiling

[christian1923]

Game ball to Tyus Jones

[RightTwoCensor]

was wiggins more impressive?
Wiggins' 40 point game is more impressive than anything Okafor has done.

Does he even defense?

[Ariza4three]

Embiid was more impressive...Wiggins showed a higher ceiling
no they weren't lol.
okafor's defense is pretty bad though, but both of those players never got the kind of attention defensively that okafor did tonight. they threw doubles and triples at him and he was on a badly sprained ankle.

[IGOTGAME]

no they weren't lol.

They doubled Embiid every time he touched the ball past the beginning of the season. Plus, most of the time they played zone bc they had no shooters.

Embiid was a lot more impressive than Okafor. I don't think you watched a lot of Kansas games.

Embiid was utterly dominant before the injury. Guy impacted the game way beyond numbers on both ends.

Without the injury...best prospect since KD and Lebron.

Are you trying to say embiid was a better college player? Seriously dude?

[RightTwoCensor]

Are you trying to say embiid was a better college player? Seriously dude?
He was. That's not even a question.

[IGOTGAME]

Are you trying to say embiid was a better college player? Seriously dude?

Yes, Embiid was better. And his skills translate to the NBA a lot better.

I really don't think people watched Kansas games if they think Embiid wasnt doubled every game.

[RightTwoCensor]

Okafor is gonna be the next Kevin Love in the next level.

Versatile to nearly unstoppable scoring capabilities.
Amazingly huge defensive liability.

Okafor doesn't have a jumper yet and he can't even knock down Ft's.

i did watch kansas games. embiid will be the better nba player, but okafor will be the better college player. actually i take that back, okafor is the better college player offensively but not overall.

[Ariza4three]

Okafor doesn't have a jumper yet and he can't even knock down Ft's.
he turned 19 not even two months ago

[christian1923]

How was A guy who averaged meddiocore numbers on a mediocore team better then a kid who is the front runner for the Naismith while leading a great team?

Idc about the NBA right now, we're talking college

[RightTwoCensor]

Okafor doesn't have a jumper yet and he can't even knock down Ft's.
I'm not saying he's gonna a clone of Love offensively, idiot.

I question the fact that people on this site can't be that gullible and stupid.

[bigkingsfan]

Why the fk would you use Love as as a comparison when there's other bigs with similar game.

[IGOTGAME]

i did watch kansas games. embiid will be the better nba player, but okafor will be the better college player. actually i take that back, okafor is the better college player offensively but not overall.

ok, so you agree that Embiid was overall a better player.

[KG215]

This game, along with a dozen or so others from this season, perfectly showcased why Marcus Paige's draft stock has plummeted this year to the point where he has no choice but to come back for his senior season and even after his senior season I can't see him being more than a mid to late 2nd rounder.

[IGOTGAME]

Idc about the NBA right now, we're talking college

basketball is more than just numbers. That has a lot to do with situations, coaching and the team around him.

Also, those numbers are averages..I'm talking about what Embiid turned into during the later part of the season. That moment in time.

Embiid had great college finishers scared to come to the rim.

[RightTwoCensor]

It's Showing An Elite Offensive Talent That Isn't Able To Play A Lick Of Defense!

YOU ARE SO ****ING RETARDED I'M DONE WITH YOUR RETARDED ASS YOU RETARD

yeah it's about wins too, and that kansas team sucked for their standards.

Yeah Embiid was better on defense but Okafor is dominating. Embiid could barely play 25 minutes.

How can a guy who plays half the game be better then this years Naismith front runner lol

[bigkingsfan]

So anyone with good o but no d, love is your go to comparison. Despite their games being nothing alike. OK :hammerhead:

[Ariza4three]

i think a good comparison for him is al jefferson but he has much more potential than al.

The award is a year long award. Embiid got a lot better as the season progressed. He progressed to a point, where he was better than Okafor is now.
At that moment in time he was better than Okafor is...

If you are talking about overall seasons than Okafor had a better one. But if you are talking about what they were towards the end of the season then Embiid was better. He was a dominant defender who was doubled every time a team dared to go zone.

Wonder how good Okafor would look if teams only played him zone and doubled him off ball and he had no shooters.

they doubled him the entire time tonight. Cook hit some good shots off the doubles

[IGOTGAME]

yea, now imagine not playing with good shooters and not having a point guard.

people forget that EVERY team played Kansas with a zone.

Syracuse plays one of the top zones and Jahlil torched them. Okafor to me is the better player and prospect cause he's reliable. Embiid really is a jaw dropping prospect but I can't count on him. I'll take my chances with a guy who probably going to be 20-10 guy.
