Roundtable: Debating Jahil Okafor

Related Topics: Jahlil Okafor, Nicholas Denning

Jahlil Okafor entered the NBA as one of the top prospects of the 2015 Draft. The Sixers took him 3rd overall in hopes he would develop into one of the best offensive big men in the league. Despite averaging 17.5 points and seven rebounds per game his rookie season, Okafor’s stock has plummeted due to his inability to defend.

Philadelphia has looked to trade him for some time, and situation has turned sour in the past year or so. The team has turned down offers they find too low, but critics argue the Sixers are limiting his development by not moving him.
