Kevin Garnett: “Okafor is having a great year. He’s strong, a very good rebounder and active around the basket. He’s playing like an animal right now.”
Dirk Nowitzki: “He is playing phenomenal and he comes to play every night. He is going to be a dominant player is this league.”

Hope he won't have back problems in the future.

From what I understand, his back problems are not continuing. I think the fact of having another possible injury prone player(Grant Hill) the Magic took Dwight Howard.

Probably but they're gonna miss him later. They'll regret it. Howard is nothing compared to Okafor. He just talks alot.

Howard may end up having injuries as well don't forget. Hes from high school, and his body is still slightly underdeveloped and could be vulnerable if a guy like Shaq goes plowing into him. Either way, I think that both teams will end up satisfied with their picks. I do not think these two will be busts, simply because they will not let themselves be. Okafor and Howard both have tremendous work ethics and you can bet that if they need to work on their games to be better, that they will.

Okafor = 2005 Eastern Conference All-Star at Center.

Do we dare say ROY?

Hopefully. I doubt Howard or Livingston will be ROY this year simply because they need to develop a little more. I'm very glad we got a guy like Okafor but I just have this strange feeling that 5 years from now, Livingston will be the best point guard in the NBA and that we missed him by trading the 4...
