Chandler Heads to Charlotte for Okafor
The New Orleans Hornets have finally rid themselves of Tyson Chandler, a player that they had initially traded to Oklahoma but the trade failed to materialize when Chandler failed the physical. Now, there will be no more backtracks as Chandler finds a new home in Charlotte for former supposed franchise player Emeka Okafor.
Both practically play the same position and are of the same age. But as far as offense is concerned, Tyson Chandler may have a slight edge. Remember that Emeka Okafor does not have an outside game and is a very poor free throw shooter. Chandler on the other hand has a decent jump shot.
If there is one thing that New Orleans will be adding will be that of additional rebounding and toughness inside. Chandler has been known to be a good shot blocker but seems to be easily pushed around due to his lean frame.
