The thing I like best about this draft class is its high character. Of the drafts I have analyzed, there has not been a better group of guys to come into the NBA. From my seat, there is not a bad apple in the group, and this will serve these players well.
I believe the character of these players will extend their careers beyond the level of their talent.
Let's take a look at the 10 things I like best about some top draft prospects:
1. Jahlil Okafor's low-post dominance.
Karl-Anthony Towns can do more things, but he does not have the dominant feature of his game to match Okafor's low-post scoring. Remember, Okafor wasn't healthy after he injured his ankle against North Carolina in the first game. Still, he commanded a double-team and handled the Tar Heels well. Okafor is a very good passer with huge, sure hands. His shot within 12 feet just dives into the basket, but his free throw shooting leaves a lot to be desired. Okafor shot 51 percent from the line but over 65 percent from the field. He is an outstanding offensive rebounder who has great hands and great footwork.
