Jahlil Okafor is now a member of the Brooklyn Nets. (Nik Stauskas is too!) While Okafor spent the 2017-2018 season riding the bench in Philadelphia, his move to Brooklyn has brought optimism for Nets fans and the basketball internet-osphere. It is the Holiday Season, after all.
We know Okafor’s pedigree. He was dominant at Duke. His dominance led him to become the third overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft. Okafor scored a lot in his rookie year. His minutes were cut last season with the emergence of Dario Saric and Joel Embiid – leading to his benching this season.
