20. <p>Jahlil Okafor has one defining characteristic that separates him from his big man counterpart in this draft in Karl-Anthony Towns. He can score.</p> <p>At Duke, we saw how good Okafor was at the rim. He could spin around defenders, lay in hook shots, or do a number of sweet post moves to create space and dunk. But he is far from just a post player. If developed correctly, Okafor could definitely turn into a mid-range aficionado. You can tell by the way the ball releases out of his hand just how comfortable he is with shooting. If he is coached up a bit he will add an asset to his game that will be key in the NBA.</p> <p>The Los Angeles Lakers lucked out when they landed the No. 2 overall pick. Although, maybe they will end up trading him to go for one last title run with Kobe Bryant and screw it up. If they choose to keep him, they will have found the next best big man to enter Los Angeles since Shaquille O’Neal himself.</p>. PF/C. Duke. Jahlil Okafor. 2. player

Next: No. 3: Philadelphia 76ers
