Sad! 2 years wandering 5 countries, template Duncan's genius scout, and the NBA said goodbye completely

Jahir Okafor is arguably the biggest victim in the context of the small-ball era.

In high school, he was the first person in the nation, draft template Tim Duncan.

Before the run, scouts called him a man with the ability to change the rules of the game, with a minimum limit for All-Stars.

In the 2015 draft, Okafor was also selected early with the third pick in the first round.

If he hadn't voluntarily turned down the Timberwolves' tryout invitation, he might even have a chance to become a champion.

Unfortunately, after being drafted by the 76ers, Okafor did not play to match the pick.

Instead, at the age of 25, he left the NBA early.

Recently, some media broke the news that Okafor has signed a contract with the Spanish club and moved to Europe for the new season.

It is worth mentioning that this is the fifth country he has visited in the last two years.

In addition to the United States and Spain, Okafor has played in the leagues of China, Dominica, and Puerto Rico.

Why is the proud son of heaven now wandering overseas?

As said at the beginning, if you want to blame, you can only blame Okafor for being in the wrong era.

His technique is fine, and the physical hardware also meets the NBA's requirements for professional players.

Can't play the ball, mainly because Okafor's style of play is too retro, scoring is concentrated in the box, and he hardly shoots three-pointers.

Players with this slow-paced style of play are seriously out of touch with the small-ball era and are not needed, which is also reasonable.

In addition to his lack of shooting ability, Okafor's defensive and playful attitude is also the main culprit for his lack of balls.

As a center, he can't provide quality defense or block breaks.

Most importantly, Okafor is not only unpreventable, he himself is unwilling to participate in defense, and his attitude is very lazy.

In the NBA, even for base-salary contracts, the annual salary has reached $2.6 million, which translates to about 18.6 million yuan.

What team would spend 18.6 million yuan to sign a defensive colander with a loose attitude?

Drifting overseas, it can only be said that Okafor is to blame.
