Okafor getting his shot block is going to happen, especially at the outset of his career. He plays below the rim. With that said, I think with experience, coaching, and garnering a little more savvy around the hoop can help decrease this rate. He's not used to playing against taller, athletic guys, yes even in summer league they exist. I've noticed a few times where the ball fell to him right at basket and he sort just went up without any regard of who was near him, and it was blocked. Needs more urgency here. I think it will come and at least improve. I don't think he looks in bad shape either and I think he'll improve his body as he goes on. Seems like a coachable kid. Being an elite athlete won't ever be there, so no sense in even worrying about. His footwork, ball skills, and polish around the basket is advanced for a 19-year old. Need to build off of that. I'd like to see more of a motor, too. Go get the ball off the glass and fight a little harder for position. These are things that can improve over time.
