You get the feeling Duke center Jahlil Okafor is starting to pull away.He appears to be in the process of separating himself from the pack as the No. 1 overall favorite in the projected 2015 NBA draft field.
To say he's been dominant is a bit of an understatement; through 13 games, he's averaging 19.5 points on a ridiculous 68.2 percent shooting. Nobody in the country has a higher player efficiency rating (37.81) than the 18-year-old freshman, according to ESPN.com.
Numbers aside (his impressive stat sheets have come against inferior nonconference competition), Okafor has simply demonstrated a one-of-a-kind skill level and feel for the game.
He's ultimately like the Jabari Parker of last year's class—polished, NBA body, high basketball IQ—only there isn't an Andrew Wiggins with unparalleled superstar upside to steal his thunder.
