Brooklyn Nets: Jahlil Okafor a free-agent conundrum

Few high lottery picks have fallen as far as fast as has Jahlil Okafor, set to become an unrestricted free agent after finishing the 2017-18 season with the Brooklyn Nets.

Okafor, a first-team All-America selection as a freshman at Duke, had it all when he declared for the NBA Draft in 2015. He had led his team to a national championship. He was big, strong, a classic 5 who was almost certain to be an anchor for some lucky franchise.

The Philadelphia 76ers took Jah with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft and the early returns were solid.
