I read if he leaves the Clips, he wants to sign with the Mavs
Jordan is my pick. But that is in addition to Ok4 or Towns, not instead.
The FT prowess of OK4 and Jordan would risk us becoming the first time teams use the hack-a-shaw strategy on BOTH front court players!

Logically, it doesn't matter how many crappy ft shooters you put on the court against Hak-a-Shaq...if you are gonna have 1 crappy ft shooter, might as well have 5.

There are plenty of big men who are bad free throw shooters their first year in college--actually most of them are terrible. Tim Duncan for his CAREER is a tad below 70% would you take Tim Duncan?

Not really.
If you hak-a-shaq then you will get yourself in the penalty and when the other team takes out the player, your best FT shooter is shooting the penalty.
Happened yesterday with Harden and Howard and JVG pointed out that this is the main problem with this tactic.
Either way, unless they change the rule, this is gonna happen more and more since teams are realizing that this can be a big benefit especially with teams finding much more efficient ways to score.
I think they will change the rule ... it makes the game kinda stupid, though its a pity to reward bad foul shooting.

One article speculating that Okafor's ankle injury might have been responsible for his slow down and that's all you need?
Ok4 has always been a top 3 pick but he's the only guy who was actually guarded. Notice what happened to Russell when az made hima defensive priority
Yeah because after lighting up one Big ten team after the next, not one of the Big Ten coaches decided to make him a defensive priority. Only the great Sean Miller was able to figure it out
With that said, I agree that OK4 is #1
...But I got Russell @#2....

Of course, if you are taking your crappy FT shooters off the court you have to take two crappy shooters off the court instead of one. I was just saying you can't foul em both at the same time.
Ok4.
You forgot to tell us Noah is 30.
How about a front court of Towns and Marc Gasol? Height, defense, shooting, passing. A 0.5% chance of it happening, but we can dream
