Nets' Jahlil Okafor: I feel like I got drafted all over again

Okafor appreciates the patient approach the Nets staff is taking towards getting him acclimated with the team

NBA
Jahlil Okafor has yet to appear with the Nets but he is trying to work hard to be ready for the moment he will call on the court.

Per Brooklyn Nets, It's been a year since he's had consistent playing time, but appreciates the patient approach the Nets staff is taking towards getting him acclimated with the team. The former No. 3 pick of the 2015 NBA Draft explained that it’s on him to show that he’s ready to contribute.
“Just preparing as hard as I can, working as hard as I can, so I know when my time comes, I’ve prepared in every way,” Okafor explained on Wednesday after practice. “It’s kind of a mental thing, you feel good about yourself. You feel good about the work you put in. Hopefully, that translates to the floor.”
For Okafor, the feeling is mutual.
“I feel like I got drafted all over again,” he said. “They’re really invested in me. That just makes me feel wanted, it makes me feel a part of this team.”
