I really don't know who to lay the blame on, but to me the whole Okoye situation has been a big screwup. This is how I believe he was rated by the draft experts:
1. Core strength- average to below average.
2. Pursuit ability- below average
3. Ability to use his good first step and good leverage to shoot gaps- exceptional.
My question is, why in the world do you draft a player like that and then tell him you don't want to use his main talent?
I'm cautiously optimistic that we will see a big step up from Okoye this year just based on how he is used.
