"Shane Larkin disagrees"

I'm with you on this. I love Burke, but I don't think he is much better than Larkin. In all honesty, I'm not sure either has NBA star written on him. I'm not sure who out of the two I would take.

I'm in the minority and would still love Porter. Bad game today, but the kid is good and a fit. All the top guys struggled though and I don't want Noel.

Agreed.

I've seen a lot of people compare Larkin to Ty Lawson and the more I watch Larkin play the more I see the comparison. I think he is better than Burke. Not by much, but I think he's a better ball handler and better in transition. And he shows up big time in big games. Burke is great too though.

i don't think you're in the minority...I'd say Smart and Porter are the favorites on here.

When he's not pouting because he's not getting enough shots?

Imo we need to pass on these one and doners. We should trade our draft pick. And pick up some more seasoned college players in the late first and second round.


Otto isn't a one and doner. He's a sophomore. And in today's college basketball, that seems to be considered "seasoned"

Here's the thing on evaluating Porter from this one game. John Thompson III has now lost FIVE straight NCAA games to teams seeded 10th or higher. That's a coach who doesn't get his teams ready to play in March.
