Wasn't he supposed to be the top pick?
Missouri's Porter Jr. (back) likely out for season

This is too bad.

He was one of Top 4 -- Bagley, Luka, Porter and Arizona C Ayton.

Michael Porter Jr. is supposed to be a future King, damn it.

 

[DJ]

Depends on what you're talking about being a backup.

You have to admit he's was at the very least better than Scott Tolzien, Blake Bortles, Trevor Siemian, Tom Savage and Mike Glennon who all started on opening day. He may be BETTER as a backup quarterback long term, but it's splitting hairs really in calling him a backup if he's already better than some starters.

Boom.

The improvement in Jaylen Brown from his rookie year to this year is pretty impressive

His development is beyond impressive. He has all-star potential. Think I'm going to eat my crow on earlier posts criticizing how Ainge handled this rebuild. It's looking pretty solid right now.

Beverley is pissed the Clippers are losing like they are.

Think Bagley was.

Think Bagley was.

I thought it was that European kid that is lighting it up.

Apparently.....we're all confused here.

Luka.

From what I've seen -- really good feel running the pick & roll -- and generally creating on offense. Solid jumpshot & 3-pt shot. Not an elite athlete.

Wilbon thinks the Wizard should try and trade for Boogie Cousins.

Literally every team should be trying to trade for Cousins that has a shot to retain him. Wizards would be a nice option.

He's going to fall to the Warriors.

I don't know why the Hawks aren't starting Collins by now. Dude is only getting 22 minutes per game despite having the second highest PER among rookies.

Think they win more than 10-12 games?

 

[DJ]

Schroder is turning into a stud....

If they keep at this pace, they'll win 17 or 18. I think they'll end up winning a few more than that because as Prince and Collins improve throughout the season, team is gonna play a lot more competitively.

You guys have your 1st round draft pick?

You guys have your 1st round draft pick?

As far as I know, we do. I know we gave up a second rounder to give up Dwight, but I can't recall giving up our first rounder. In fact, according to this article, we have five first rounders in the next two drafts.

I like the direction this team is going in. Schroeder is doing well, and Prince and Collins are developing quite nicely. If the guy we draft plays to his potential, we'll be in pretty good shape. The biggest impediment to this team is Bazemore's contract.

He's best suited to being a shooter off the bench imo. And he's not shooting very well this season so far.
