| Second Half of the season Draft Talk time: Otto Porter of G-Town (Posted on 2/17/13 at 8:32 pm)
Bleachreport but not a bad mock
Good Scout Video of Porter
He is 6'9 with a 7'1 wingspan. Very athletic and great defensive potential which im sure Monty will like. Very adepth at getting to and finishing around the rim. He's a great rebounder like Aminu. The only possible issue I see is his jumper. Kind of a slower long-release but he does make them with a solid percentage (over 40%). I would love this pick.

I would love to get Shabbaz but I don't think we'll be picking high enough.

Absolutely love Otto Porter
Want him over Shabazz as the team is currently constructed.
Although, he is not overly athletic as you mentioned in the OP. he's still a good athlete, but he's no Andre Igodoula.
The thing about Porter, he's getter better and better. Over the course of the season he's taken more of a scoring role on the team and his percentages have gone up, not down.

He fits a big need for us and he is currently projected to be picked between 6-10, which is where I think we will be picking.
Lots of things can change between now and the draft, like winning the lottery, late bloomers, injuries, etc., but as of now I would love for him to be our pick.

Given the current team needs and where we'll likely to end up picking, he's who I've been high on lately.

He definitely makes the most sense for what we need and where we're probably going to be picking
Don't stress out about Shabazz too bad guys, dude has bust written all over him
