What a great question! I believe it's important to select the one player who has unique size, skill and the physical tools to be special.
And that player would be Jahlil Okafor, and here's why.
He possesses a combination of unique size with sure hands, and he has a fluid post move in which he uses his footwork to beat his defender. He is a special player who can make the opponent change its game plan. With his size and excellent low-post skills, you can count on him every night. Plus, he is extremely intelligent.
He dominates the game in the paint by producing consistently and working hard on the glass.
