Jahlil Okafor - Postup Powerhouse
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ม.ค. 2016
- Jahlil Okafor grew up idolizing Tim Duncan, and the Big Fundamental’s influence is readily apparent when you watch the former Blue Devil. The rook has moves. Tons of 'em. To the point that David Robinson (2x NBA Champion, MVP in 1995), compared the two when Okafor was still playing in Durham. That’s high praise considering the Admiral was Timmy’s mentor and longtime teammate.
Big Jah has the unenviable task of being compared to one of the greatest players of all time, while also playing for the team that has lost the most in NBA history (the streak from earlier this season). He’s also been dealing with a few off-court incidents. Long story short, it’s been less than ideal for the big man.
The good news is that Jahlil had an all-time great coach defending his character. If Mike Krzyzewski says this guy is “one of the greatest kids ever,” then we should be patient with him. The young fella’s hands might just be big enough that he can help turn Philly’s fortunes around. After all, he’s not even half a season into his NBA career yet, but he’s already impressed enough to warrant a video.
This video isn’t entirely about post play. The Chicago native has such a polished offensive game for a young big man, that it’s hard to capture everything in one video. What I did want to do was showcase his range, surprising handle, and fantastic footwork. Please enjoy the myriad moves of one Jahlil Okafor.

This NBA, where teams all want to play the same, guys like Okafor are a forgotten commodity. Taking a closer look at his game he can still provide valuable minutes as an impact player. Great motor, great hands can shoot but his greatest asset is his post game. Teams shouldn’t try to keep up with the run and gun style and should look to slow the game down. Keeping it close down the stretch of games it’s better to have a reliable post player than to live and die by the 3-in my opinion
Opposite of an impact player. Good per minute scoring, horrendous team offence, low motor, embarassing defender, doesn’t set good screens doesn’t roll hard, doesn’t hustle, doesn’t fight for position without the ball, can’t pass out of the post, extremely slow to get into actions, high turnover. I honestly don’t think you can have a .500 team with him getting 20 touches a game.
Beautiful post play. We need more of this in the NBA.
This guy is schooling guys who have been in the league 3+ years. And it's it's his First. Cmon cuh!
He's thriving in all this space that he didn't have in college, it lets him really go to work
Apparently the last one was taken down, so I made a few changes. Here's hoping this one can stay up.
What was the problem before? I was gonna ask you repost. So thank you!!
+jeebs9 copyright issues. Nothing specific was listed in the email notification that told me it was taken down, so I can't know for sure what the problem was
Evin Gualberto I'll see if I can find it for you. They will never tell exactly what it is.
Okafor is a professor in the paint.
they weren't lying. how he gets the bucket is like wilt Chamberlain. he finger rolls it in or a light toss in and his footwork is phenomenal
Too bad injuries ruined him. Injuries suck man
@@simplyryan12 wasnt just injuries. Phillies fucked roster situation, a skill set not increasingly not valued anymore, poor defender. I think in the right circumstances with the right coaching he’d still be in the league, but he had a lot going against him
@@simplyryan12 obviously not lol.
@@rykno23 never had that energy in the 1st place and was lazy at times. Dont forget he dropped his jersey in a conference purposely
Dwight Howard still doesn't have this type of Low Post Fundamentals.
Regardless of what he achieves in the NBA, I think I will enjoy watching him. It's really enjoyable to watch a player with huge ass hands, it allows them to do weird ass moves that look cool.
He's ballin with the pelicans this season. So happy for him!
I'm still a fan and would love to see a NBA team take a chance on him. He can score in the post, draw fouls, and rebound.
He should be in the league right now getting major minutes his game was advanced back then he can score on anybody i dont get it on a team with some shooters it would be body after body trying to stop him one on one i don't care who it is post game and cam take u off the dribble damn what more he gotta show teams and he doing the same thing over seas right now
He has drop stepper hall of fame
I've always said, you need a spin move, eurostep, good midrange shot, hook shot, baby hook and a floater, to make it in the modern NBA as a Big, Okafor has all of that besides great defense.
If he was on the spurs...
Bro.. him and Aldridge would’ve been deadly.
Fr tho
That spin-move ranks with the greatest Centers of all-time.
Please let Okafor out of Philadelphia
only in his rookie year but already is the center/power forward with the best skill sets..gonna be an unstoppable offensive force in 3-4 years.
He is quick as a big man
Bro Okafor, Noel, and Embiid on the same team would have been insane. All that hype they had back in the day just never panned out unfortunately
His post is beautiful keep at it big fella
he is a great basketball play.I follow 76er because of him
Amazing stuff!
Did my man's get black balled out the league???
There was a certain time when I thought Jahlil would be better than Embiid…. Boy I was dead wrong but I was so confident on it
I watched Jahlil pick apart my Bucks down low tonight. A team really needs to give him a chance to shine as a scorer.
AD's leaving!
VERY talented!!!
Good lord that spin move is unstoppable
thank you he needs this to win roy
Dawg that dribble to the left then spin to the right is deadly.
this kid is simply a beast..
9:29 Fucked you up Porzingis!!!
Don’t ever compare porzingus to this guy
I'm a huge sixers fan but I hope we can trade him to teams like the nets.I'm pretty sure he's very capable of scoring over 20 a game.His potential will be limited in the sixers since he doesn't fit our system.Hope he can flourished in the other teams.goodluck jah
Can you please post more Jahlil's footage, this guy is amazing, so underated
0:06 that shit was clean af
Takes a little too long to choose a move when he gets the ball, but he has a lot of moves and his footwork is so much better than most NBA centers. Jah, KAT, and Porzingod. This was a good draft for big men
He's got one move and he's not afraid to use it. The spin move with a right hook is coming.
He is so damn quick.
Okafor has beautiful post moves
great old man post game
good dribbling skill for a big guy
reminds me of big al with the righty touch
HOLY SHIT MY GOD
He would be a beast in the triangle
Hes got that Julius Erving flair. The way he palms the ball at least. Future big man to be reckoned with.
his footwork combined with his weight and that palm... gonna be him and boogie dominating pretty soon
Davis?
Superstar level
Jah would've been a killer in the 90's
This kid is great offensively. I'm a Celtic fan and we need someone like him, but he is a HEADCASE.
I believe we got someone better. Al Horford isn't the post up player Jahlil is, but he is a much better shooter and passer. And Horford is by far the better defender. Okafor will likely have much better individual stats when all is said and done though.
Sean Jones might pair them up together. Al is better now, yes, but consider the fact that Okafor was a 19/20 yr old that was 16 pts, 8 reb, and 1 blk per game. By 25, he will be 20+, 10, and 2.
+Christopher David D. That's pretty much what I just said. Al is better now, but Okafor will prgress into something great. Problem is, the Celtics would have to give up too much for him and possibly jeopardizing their future. Trading for Nerlens is a safer and more idealistic trade for both teams. Nerlens also happens to be a Boston native, and already one of the better defensive centers in eague.
Sean Jones Not that much for Okafor. The Celtics could have had him for Jaylen Brown, but opted to keep 3rd pick. Nerlens fits Celtics better though.
If they gave him the same patience the Bucks gave Giannis, he’d be the biggest post threat the league has ever seen. Teams were stupid to not give him a chance to succeed.
GOAT
I honestly think Lakers should pick him up this offseason---even if he doesn't start--- I think he'll get minutes and with players who compliment his game (ie shooters) like kuzma and josh hart.
He pretty good like when catches the ball he scan the court to see if has space to score and it can help if he a great passer like catching cutter and open shooters.
Guys like okafor can flourish in today's NBA because you can no longer hand check. The bigs benefit from the new rules the most. He probably end up with hall of fame numbers when its all said and done as crazy as that sounds. If he can stay healthy.
Well, his problem is defense.
Also, He have a negative +- when he is in the floor
He has a great post game no doubt. I don't think anyone has come into the nba with such advanced footwork. The only thing preventing him from getting to the next level is his shooting. Once he gets a mid range he'll be unstoppable
His defense
Very impressive post game, especially for a 20 year old (19 in some of these clips), but I only saw him use his left hand once in the entire video.
damn and this dude only 20 years old scary
I really think 76 is the best team for him as he can get as many touches as possible which is vital for a low post bigman
he has serious footwork and his fundlemental offensive game is amazing. ..
next year he will average. ..
19 pts 11 rebs easily. ..
The net's got a superstar
JAHZILLA!!!!!!!!!!!🐲🐲🐲🐲🐲🐲🐲🐲🐲🐲🐲🐲🐲🐲🐲🐲🐲🐲🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
vintage Chris bosh esque? yes
Great post up game. How i wish that the lakers took him in the draft. Sixers got something in this 20 yr old kid. They better not trade him.
Nice vids, man! Can you do Luc Mbah a moute defense highlights?
+Boruc Saip I'd love to..his effort on D is just always impressive. That being said, it'll probably take a while because it's always difficult to get footage of non-marquee guys, so I will say I want to make one, but it'll probably take a good long while before you see it
+Evin Gualberto Thanks! I will wait with impatience
Lucky Mbah moute lolllll!!!!!!!! that shit had me WEAKKK
+Terrence Ames lol
Not sure how this man can’t secure a team, I think he would thrive under greg popovich on the spurs, classic back to the basket big man
This guy and Ben Simmons is gonna be a mean 1 2 punch!
Everyone knew that he had some nice post moves at Duke but I never knew they were this advanced...Dude can put the ball on the floor and is pretty quick on his feet too.He's also top 5 in efficiency on post Isos in the league and he's just a rookie playing on a shitty 76ers team where half of the players belong in the D league.
im so sad that he got drafted by sixers. my dream young players are Jabari Parker, Okafor and Embid and 2 of them got injured hard. damn
Okafor had a good rookie year! I feel like a lot of people overlook Okafor because of the season Karl Anthony Towns had. A question for the 76er fans. Do you guys think the 76ers will trade him this year?
He needs to go to the Spurs. Coach Pop is the only one who understands how dominate the post game is.
Lol I just realized he spins right every time
But it doesn't really matter if they can't stop it
I seen some left spins but yea
+Hideotic most righthanded post players are more comfortable with their right
+Young Kim lol duhh
Hideotic You are 100% WRONG 😄😄😄, Okafor spinned LEFT plenty of times with a scoop shot under the rim (Baseline) when catching near the LEFT LOW BLOCK.
It's a shame that Okafor had to get put onto the worst team in the 2015-16 season. But he is one of the best rookie big men I have ever seen!! If he can master his craft and get onto a better team/get a few more good players on the 76ers, I think they can do really do a lot of damage with him. Definitely have my eye on him from this point on.
With Hinkie out and former multiple GM of the year Colangelo in they may make some moves in the future.
how you got a limitless range hook shot
only jhalil
Wonder if pop will ever pick him up and have Timmy mentor him
Jahlil Okafor n Karl Anthony Towns will bring balance to the NBA ..The Center is making a comeback n it's starting with them
I don't remember where exactly I heard it, but I remember some talk show talking about the center not going away, but rather being power forwadized. I think that's true cause you look at all the great bigs, they play far more power forward like rather than center like. Even jahill here looks like a power forward and not a center
The Knicks should sign both Jahlil Okafor and Harry Giles as free agents this off-season.
My God, if only we could defend
It might sound crazy saying this but Jah may be a top 3 post player in the game as a rookie, He just needs to dedicate himself to rebounding then he'll be great...
For sure even at his young age this dude is going to be great with more experience
+Christian Betancourt too bad we gotta trade him....
+Buk718 It's just rumors.
+Dark Night Of The Soul nah brah it's way past a rumor Bryan Colangelo openly came out and said he's shopping Okafor or Nerlens, preferably okafor...
Watching the summer league games Okafor and Embiid are at the games and hanging with the teams but I don't see Noel. Maybe Noel is going to go, I don't know who I want to stay I like them both alot.
kobe bryant footwork with mj hands
2017 76ers Roster J.Embid, K.Love, B.Ingram, D.Green, P.Mills bench Boban, B.Diaw, Kyle Anderson idk who else but that's a much improved TEAM to build around in Free Agency. N.Noel and a future late 1st or 2nd rd Pick for K.Love? Jahlil to San Anton 5 for 1 the Rumor is Real. Popovich sees an opportunity here to aquire Jahlil. If the 76ers as reported are looking for a Mother Load of a Deal we will give it to them. For Jahlil Okafor #TheNextTimDuncan?? That's a No Brainer give them 1-2 more Picks and any Bird Rights to any Player we have OverSeas.
from Green TV
Odd seeing him palm the ball when he post up lol
I'm not buying it that he not in the League because he was just a post up player, he was a legit scorer I think he just did not get drafted to the right team I mean Joel and Noel was already there in my opinion
am i the only 1 noticing that he NEVER passed it even when he was being triple teamed?!?!?! lol be kobe'd it
The dude showed that he could pass in college. It's just now he doesn't have much to pass to.
Luke Rocha ballhog much ei.
thats true,my opinion,he is a impressive offence player，but a bad defence player,thats the reason why he cant stay in the court.he cant find his teammates which make him easy to turnover
Support Okfour
reminds me a lot of Al Jefferson. just hope he has a better career and a new team lol
Jahlil owned gasol to the second power
whoooooo that is one talented boy. I thought he would be the star instead of embiid but 76ers win more with embiid. they should trade jahlil 2 raptors or something they have enough good bigs
If he continues to get better in the low post and somehow learns to play pick and roll defense and pass out of the double teams in the paint then he will have a great career.
8:14 was the best
Why the Lakers selected Russell over this guy is beyond me!!!
mark my words people! okafor will be the next best power forward in the nba, kind like tim duncan, if he can keep his head straight
How's his defense?
Wow
Bustin Pau Gasol's ass!! I wonder what his FG percentage is for the season.
Sam Spade it was 57%
i had no clue
Looks so much like prime Al Jefferson.
Lakers should've got him it's sad we got Russell :/
I wish :/
He did good tonight. Watch I bet he will win rookie of the month since he will be starting the rest of the season. When he gets consistent minutes he's been really good
Just scored 39 last night
Still a bust
+vman armand Based on very inconsistent play on offense and not giving effort much on D to this point.
Laker Fans are still crying they didn't get Okafor. I feel bad for Jahlil I wouldn't want to play for Philly. give him 2 more years there and he will leave or demand a trade. too big of a talent to be stuck in a small market environment
On one of the first plays he double dribbles but no call check it out
no he didnt
dude can drop 20 in his sleep
I see Hakeem Olajuwon - offensively speaking.
Extraordinary offensive IQ. Average to low defensive IQ.
I see an All-Star.
Hakeem average to low defense I.Q?! He's one of the best if not they best shot blockers of all time!!
Like Hakeem - *offensively.
what a move 5:00
