Jahil Okafor vs Emeka Okafor

[ISHGoat]

If the lakers do end up with Jahil, id be interested in seeing LA going after Emeka, if healthy. Something around the vets min, in hopes of helping develop his brother for the NBA game, particularly defensively.

Better comparison might be brook Lopez with higher potential. Duncan was elite defensively, okafor no where close

i said offensively ... not defensively

Not brothers, dummy.

It's called a joke

Started awhile back with Luol Deng and his cousin Giorgi Dieng

A lot of kids in this thread have no idea how good Emeka Okafor was coming out of college.

Jahlil is a more refined offensive player, but Emeka was a defensive beast (over 4bpg) and a proven winner, having won a championship with UConn.

That said, Jahlil put up crazy numbers for a freshman.

In terms of their pro careers, I think Jahlil will do better than Emeka did, but the latter was plagued by back problems.
