Jahlil Okafor Has Some Company Now

Wherever he goes, somebody is going with him.

After a string of incidents which generated bad publicity, Jahlil Okafor is getting some up-close attention from a security guard who basically will hang out with him in his down time.

ESPN reports that it's not the team who made the move but what Chris Broussard describes as "Okafor's handlers."

From time to time we've talked about the difficulties young players have in adopting to the NBA lifestyle and clearly Okafor, who by all accounts is a very nice young man, is having his. The money is amazing, but couple that with immaturity - and we're not just talking about Okafor but as a general thing - and you have the raw ingredients for a disaster.
