re: Anthony Bennett to have surgery

Otto porter is a perimeter player. . Decent size but much less offensive presence as bennett at the same age. Also I doubt he's getting to us at 5/6 so im not even looking at him now. I think anderson is capable of producing much of what porter would do here.

Otto Porter is as close to a can't-miss prospect as we'll find at those positions. Granted, this is looking to be a thoroughly mediocre draft.

That's basically what I'm saying.

It's more along the lines of, hey, we need a SF, Porter's a small forward, lets hook up.

You could also say we need a center so Zeller would be the pick.

Or a pg and Burke would be the pick.

I just think there is more to it. The mock drafts have everyone saying Burke. The need at SF has everyone saying Porter. People think its one of the two but I think there is just as great of a chance of taking Bennett or Shabazz or whoever else. Position won't dictate who they select imo

I tend to agree, though I'm not ruling it out

I hope like hell it isn't Zeller.

So, benson wants to win next season. our key players would be gordon - on 3 pt line, vasquez - slow vasquez, AD - midrange, lopez - post but not a great offensive option, porter - perimeter, too light/lacking athleticism to get down low and hit shots consistently, anderson - perimeter. We've all seen gordon trying to drive with these options and being outsized down low... I think if we got bennett we could say gtfo to aminu and open up the inside/out game. Porter would be a great fit with say pecovic, but we don't have that. We need consistent scoring and I see bennett bringing that to the table much more than porter. Bennett can go 1 on 1. Im not looking at position. If we have porter I see a big play of gordon driving and kicking to porter on the 3 which is already there with ryno. Bennett brings new ferocity to the team. We're soft as shite right now.

Idk, expound upon your hawks comparison.

The Hawks have a history of overstocking PFs resulting in an unbalanced roster that is inherently flawed.

Are you really trying to call Lebron a PF?

None of AD/Anderson/Bennett even sniff Lebron's skill set.

This is more bad news for a weak draft. With Smart staying and now Bennett having surgery this draft just keeps getting worse.

I'm hoping for a 2 or 3 and we grab Porter. If the Pels end up at 5 or worse gonna be holding my breath hoping for either Oladipo or Burke to last until we can get them.

I don't know why everybody leaves out Zeller. He was the projected number 1 guy before the season and he semi-improved on his game this year (rebounding went way up). He would fill a huge need, has tons of potential and Davis could stay at PF. The team has Lopez for another year, so he could split minutes his 1st season while getting his feet wet (ala Davis/Anderson). Anderson would have to play more SF though. But a starting front court of Anderson, Davis and Zeller is really strong.
