Jahlil Okafor expected to land with Bulls or Hawks if 76ers choose to deal
Philadelphia 76ers center Jahlil Okafor's most likely landing spots are reportedly the Chicago Bulls and Atlanta Hawks, according to league sources.
What It Means:
The 76ers want a draft pick in return for the 3rd overall selection from the 2015 NBA Draft, but neither the Bulls or Hawks have made a convincing offer. Joel Embiid is getting the night off Tuesday against the Utah Jazz, so perhaps Philadelphia will take the opportunity to allow Okafor to showcase his skills. He's played just once this season.
Okafor scored 10 points on 4-of-7 field goals and 2-of-4 free throws with 9 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 2 turnovers in his one appearance this season, finishing with 24.8 FanDuel points in 22.2 minutes.
