Always thought Jerami Grant had huge potential. He hasn't gotten the playing time to truly develop much, but he is improving already a lot this year. He has the athleticism and length to be a really solid player.
Okafor I always thought had great potential, and he averaged over 17 in his first year with the 76ers, I think, but he has been pushed out of the rotation quite a bit by the changes they have made. I don't think Philly has the management and heart of a truly great organization, so they never manage to develop anyone to their potential. Nerlens Noel is another example of someone they really couldn't manage to utilize effectively. But then, I never saw the off-court antics of Okafor - maybe living in Philly perpetuates the toxic punk-style mentality? I don't know. I just can see where he could fit in quite well in a Jerami Grant-style role, too. Not sure we need him, but if we could pick him up cheaply, he could probably contribute.
