Jahlil Okafor

C, New Orleans Pelicans

Jahlil Okafor was a sight for sore eyes in the Pelicans' loss to the Kings on Tuesday, taking advantage of the Kings' poor interior defense to pop off for 21 points on 9-of-11 shooting from the field and 3-of-4 at the line.

Okafor was also able to chip in four rebounds, one assist and two blocks in his 26 minutes on the floor. He's not going to do this every night, so consider this a lucky one-of. The Pelicans are no longer able to qualify for the play-in tournament, so don't expect to see this much spirited play as often as the season winds down for them completely.
