Why the Fake Draft Pick acquired in the Nerlens trade is better than Jahlil

When Jahlil Okafor slipped to the third overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, many draft experts were surprised. Many thought Okafor would go to Los Angeles at two, and if he fell, he would not go to the Philadelphia 76ers, a team that already had Nerlens Noel and Joel Embiid at the time. Some expected Okafor to struggle as the 76ers would be unable to give him minutes or a competent point guard, but no one expected Okafor to be outplayed…. by a fake draft pick.
