I've always liked Okafor (almost as much as Chandler) and definitely consider him the second best player on the team behind Paul. I'd really like to see him get his FT% up to at least an average level though ... he is playing close to the old Chandler level which is really good to see ... (though Chandler is outdoing himself with Dallas ... sad face ... )

Right now Emeka is doing what I expected him to do last year. But it's understandable if you're playing through a nagging minor injury all year, a new team (after playing your first 5 or so for one team), a new city, that it'll take some time to adjust. And right now, it looks like he's adjusting just fine. Until last season the guy averaged a double double every season in his career. Looks like he'll be getting back to that this year.

He's playing really well, and I hope that he continues to, and stays healthy. I'm not gonna lie, I still think he's a PF playing Center, but I'm really happy he's our PF playing Center.

Mek has probably been the 2nd or 3rd most consistent player on our roster this season, and is probably the reason we have the record we do now.

Let's not try to discount the job Meka did today based on his competition. If that's the case then he did what the heck he was supposed to do.

Emeka has been everything we all hoped he would be this season and more. We all wanted him to go back to that 11 and 10 guy he has always been, and he has done that over the season so far. The best stat however is that going into today's game he is 13.8 ppg and 11.8 rpg. Not to mention, the 1.46 blocks per game in that stretch as well. He really should be the hands down Allstar for the West at center. That is something that I did not think any of us would have honestly been able to say leading into this season.

12 offensive rebounds is not a surprise considering the people that were boxing him out. I mean, Andrea Bargnarni was boxing him out for Christ's sake. It was either him or the waif thin Amir Johnson.

All I know is the guy has had more positives than negatives so far this season.

Going into this game, Emeka currently ranks 10th in the league in offensive rebounds. 7th in rebounds overall.

Emeka Okafor is so streaky, its frustrating. You have to give him credit, 12 offensive boards means he was just out hustling his man, if he could only do this on a nightly basis, he wouldn't have the entire state of Louisiana ready to deal him away.
