Mudiay looked really good in his last preseason game. Most of LG had him pegged as a lock to be a bust

Okafor 76ers on NBATV right now

he throws up some bricks and gets blocked alot.
this is vs. Jon Luer

https://vine.co/v/e0b3EX3bH2u 1st shot attempt of game, brick
https://vine.co/v/e0bLDWi0twr 3rd attempt, blocked

Luer isn't even a quality backup

He just drove in from the highpost and lost his footing, flipped up a brick.
1-5FGA through 6mins

edit: his defender is some guy name Kaun, not Leur (who may or may not still be in the league)

Okafor looks really small, Randle's size maybe smaller.

Sasha Kaun was a former elite C from Kansas. He's not playing up to his potential, but I think he's underrated, in a way that Jeff Withey is underrated as well.

Okafor doesn't have the strength to compete at his position at the NBA level yet. But, he will.

Funny, because I like Jon Leuer for being strong and having 3pt. range. That's it.

yup, Okafor's strength(or lack of) is hurting him. he's used to guys bumping off him and it's not happening at this level - he's getting no separation for his post shot attempts ; and no foul calls.
https://vine.co/v/e0hhDT93dQP just threw up another brick, off balance no call.
turnover on a post entry to him the play before.

Okafor is going to have his ups and downs like most rookies. I mentioned in the summer league that he would need to get stronger. He will realize what he can and can't do in the league soon enough.

awwww. can't wait till the season starts, Okafor on league pass, I really think he's gunna shoot about 42% FG this season and be a vine victim. can't wait.
I also think Wiggins is going to have a bit of a down year, not a big fan.
