Sixers should help rehab Jahlil Okafor’s career

Well into the free agency, it’s becoming clear that there is no serious interest in the Philadelphia 76ers former third overall pick Jahlil Okafor. Okafor’s had a hot start with the club in his rookie season, but a combination of knee injuries, poor defense and the emergence of Joel Embiid led to Okafor’s eventual departure to the Brooklyn Nets via trade.

Okafor’s stint with the Net’s didn’t go well either. He only averaged 12.6 minutes, 6.4 points and 2.9 rebounds in 26 games.
