Jahlil Okafor had an impressive rookie season. In his second year, Okafor averages eight points and 3.5 rebounds per game.
Unfortunately, 76er teammate Joel Embiid has broken his two-year hiatus from sitting out of games due to injury. This will affect Okafor’s production.
Although Okafor’s numbers might decline this season, he continues to put up modest numbers.
