Sixers' Jahlil Okafor far from satisfied

SALT LAKE CITY - Jahlil Okafor is about as down to earth as a millionaire teenager can be. For being the third player selected in the NBA draft last month, the Sixers rookie is remarkably self-critical.

For example, when asked what parts of his game he thought he needed to improve, he replied: "I've never been a guy that I pinpoint one thing. I just have to work on everything."

Okafor has showcased some of his talent during the first two games here at the Utah Jazz Summer League, with agile footwork in the lane at the offensive end and an admirable presence at the defensive end.
