Interior presence for Fort Lauderdale, but production is still modest
In the 2025-26 season, Michael Okafor has been a steady rotational center for Fort Lauderdale, logging 18.0 minutes per game with 2.3 points, 1.3 rebounds, 0.7 steals, and a 38% field-goal rate.[1] His value looks less like box-score fireworks and more like interior activity and effort—reports note he was “very active in the interior,” which hints at a hustle-first big who can impact possessions beyond scoring.[1][2] He looks like a fit for a team that wants energy, size, and defensive presence, but not yet a polished high-usage offensive anchor.[1][2]
