The second overall draft pick of the Charlotte Bobcats and the first-ever pick for the Charlotte Bobcats gets a bad rap in many circles. Many articles have been written calling him a bust, but the fact remains that Okafor averaged a double-double every season of his run in Charlotte and was also the Rookie of the Year.
Okafor would appear on many end-of-season top-ten lists for rebounding and blocking, and while he is out of the NBA, it was due to a herniated disc. The big man never had a season with advanced metrics, and while he was never a dominant force in professional basketball, he was certainly above average. That isn’t a bad thing to have from your center for five years!
