Anybody else think okafor is injury prone? He looks too big and unathletic to make it thru a whole season.

So now we are potentially labeling guys as injury prone just because they are big and unathletic? 3/4 of the bigs in the NBA must be injury prone then. There's going to need to be a much more specific reason than size and athleticism to put that kind of label on someone.

Yeah Embiid is about as athletic as it gets in a big man and he has issues. Bowie was tall, but I wouldn't consider him big. Shaq was big and I wouldn't consider him injury prone. Until Okafor really breaks down, I wouldn't call him injury prone. Right now I think he is the clear cut number one. He has a polished post game. He has shown glimpses of a face up game. I think he has the body type to develop into a plus defender. Remember he is 19. There is a ton of improving and developing he can do. People make it seem like he is what he is and won't get better while Towns will develop. Both guys are still kids and will build on their respective games.

Winslow would be my 5. I don't look at the Kentucky team as having any studs. WCS seems to be their best player and I think will be a rotation guy, but not a star.

I am going to show my age, but I think the early 90's UNLV team and Fab Five team would mop the floor with this years Kentucky team.

The 2006-07 Florida Gators remain the best team in college hoops history. Would mop the floor with whoever you throw at them.

That was a damn good team too.

Noah and company would have destroyed this bunch.

I am liking Winslow more and more as well. Continues his consistent shooting, and he rebounds extremely well. He has certainly moved into top 5. Wouldn't be surprised if he works way into top 3 with remaining games and workouts. He has the size and skill to be a perfect SF in the NBA. He is a solid defender and has been an efficient scorer.

Really?
Give me any of 2000-2001 blue devils, Fab Five, 82-83 Houston (Drexler and Olajuwon??), 89-91 Rebels, early 80's Tar Heels.

The Fab Five? Great story, but far from one of the best teams of all time.

Kaminsky looks so smooth with the ball for a big man and such a nice shooting touch
