Jahlil Okafor schools Jordan Hill on one-handed floater (Video)
By Phil Naegely
The Philadelphia 76ers are winless this season, but Jahlil Okafor has still put on a show during his rookie season.
Jahlil Okafor is a bright spot on the Philadelphia 76ers’ dismal season so far. After they looked silly on a Jordan Hill dunk, Okafor schooled Hill on nice floater.
In a play that featured great individual skills, Okafor caught Hill off guard just as the Indiana Pacers player is used to doing to his opponent. Okafor looked to be going left, cut back to his right, and finished the play with a nice one-handed floater from five feet out.
Okafor is a front-runner for rookie of the year this season and more plays like this will propel him towards the top. He could be a lock to participate in the NBA All-Star Game Weekend.
On the other hand, Hill reminds NBA fans that players can be on the giving side of humiliation and then be humiliated themselves moments later.
The Sixes suck this year, but Okafor is showing fans that the future is bright and the games are still fun to watch despite the team being winless. However, for now Philly fans will have to be content with Okafor catching his defenders off guard and hitting some slick shots until winning seasons come down the road.
