Jahlil Okafor Is a Slug

I missed most of the game last night and woke up to a Twitter timeline of Jahlil Okafor standing in the paint while basketball happened around him:

Mind-boggling. To anyone who argues that Okafor can learn to play defense and rebound, mark these as exhibits A, B and C why he can’t. Positioning and technique are one thing, effort is another. If someone who is ostensibly playing for a role in this league can’t even fake effort for a few months, why would any GM believe that he can do it over the longterm? Okafor, who is unhappy here, is spiking his own trade value. This is an unprecedented level of don’t give a shit.
