133. Playoff Debut

The damned third overall pick turned out to be Okafor's nephew!

This must be the unluckiest uncle and nephew duo, both peaked as rookies.

One sustained a severe injury in his second NBA year, destroying his athleticism, turning from an all-around talented center into a blue-collar grunt; the other also suffered a major injury in his sophomore year, but the injury was the least of his problems. The NBA had changed eras, entering the era of small-ball, and his low-post, static style left him with no role on the court.

On the flight to Cleveland, Jahlil Okafor sat next to Zhang Yang asking all sorts of questions. Jahlil Okafor's curious inquires didn't get many answers, but Zhang Yang found out everything he wanted to know.

11 years old, 183 cm... currently in the fifth grade of elementary school, switching to junior high later this year.
