Hey could help the bobcats alot or hurt them alot. ESPN was saying that Orlando would not take Emeka if the three team doctor said his back was not able to handle the long season plus playoffs, so I guuese the doctors didn't think he would be able to handle it. I think Emeka will do good but I think the Magic also made a mistake by not taking him beacuse he has alot more experience in a higher level of play. Dwight would of been good with the 'Cats beacuse he has to learn the game and so do most of the players on the 'Cats roster. Overall, I think Magic could of made a great choice or a real bad choice but I think the 'Cats will work around Emeka next year and years to come.
I think that the Magic made the right choice when taking Dwight Howard. In the future I see Howard being an all-star caliber player when he reaches his potential, while Emeka will make an impact on the Bobcats right away but he will not get any much better than he is right now. I like Okafor on the Cat's because he already is experienced in big game situations and succeeded in them. Also, I don't think Okafor's back will affect him in the next year or the year after but in his 3rd or 4th year I forsee his back making him a liability. Basically, If you want immediate impact you want Emeka Okafor, But if you are looking at the future and have time to wait for Howard to reach his potential choose Dwight.
