Okafor in December
After just three games in December against Knicks, Clippers, and Kings has averaged 14ppg and 16rpg. He should see a real challenge when he faces Amare and Phoenix next. If he continues this there is doubt he will win ROY.
In Kareem Rush's first game with the Bobcats he went 6-14 from the field 5 rebounds 2 steals and 14points. Not bad, maybe we can change our lineup instead of having a two PG rotation, and finally fit in Bogans or Rush.

I think a lineup of:
Brezec/Okafor/Rush/Bogans/Hart would be a good one to start. Or have Bogans come off the bench and have Gerald Wallace start at the 3.
Great trade by the Bobcats to get Rush though. Guy is young and could very well turn out to be something special.

You definitely need to throw Bogans in there at the starting lineup.

Long term, do you all see him as more of a center or power forward?

I personally see him as PF, but since he can play either PF or C I don't think he will be a lock at one position.

I see him as a PF too.
Hes putting up some pretty good numbers and the bobcats are pretty competitive, theyre really haven't been many games where they didn't have a chance. Once they mature a bit and learn to close out games, I think they'll start winning some more.
Hes been really impressive as of late. I could go as far as to predict a 20 ppg/12 rpg statline for maybe the last 2-3 months of the season.

I was just going to post the same thing, he is really showing that he can be an all-star and hasn't reached his limit as far as talent yet.The Bobcats next game will be tomorrow against the Nets, I don't know if Carter is playing in this one, but if he isn't we should definetly win this game. Okafor will be able to dominate down low considering they do not have Zo anymore. Look for a career high game again from(Last time they played NJ Okafor got 26pts and 12reb a season high )

I watched him for the first time the other day, he's going to be a perenial all star, for a guy who everyone said had no real offensive game, he's shown that he can be very efficient at scoring. He looks like he's starting to develop some post moves, he has a nice fadeaway baby hook ala the Dream, and can hit the open jumper out to 15 feet.

Once he develops a good back to the basket game, he will become an All Star.

Right on, no VC tonight, and NJ has no depth upfront, hopefully they can get in foul trouble.
Okafor is going to kill it tonight.
