The fact that he hasn't seen the floor and is out with a phantom injury is not good. They should just tell us what is going on.

No need to rush him back and potentially prolong or exasperate that injury. The Wizards appear to be gaining a little bit of a rhythm and chemistry now anyway.. no need to throw that out of balance at this tenuous time either.

he's going to be a game time decision. I would guess he gets 5-10 minutes tonight. Slowly work him into the 2nd unit. If not tonight, then for sure in the upcoming week.

Havent read anything on Porter ... but my opinion is he slowly getting more comfortable and being more productive.

Things to remember, when Porter is running on the 2nd unit he doesn't have someone who can facilitate & when he gets opportunity to run with the first unit (which doesn't happen often because of Ariza & Webster) he's the rookie and not expected to do much.

I've stopped watching NBA drafts but wasn't he like top 10? Granted the 1st round has been relatively quiet, but I've seen him play once for a few minutes and just gun then get benched. DC needs to find some scouts or perhaps he does just need some more time...He looks NOTHING like the kid from georgetown.

Otto was #3 overall.

Which is why the high expectations are understandable.

But the team is winning more games then they have in the past 5 years ... so I think they're just being patient and not rushing him.

ok, cool. I hope they can earn something #4 thru #6 seed. #7 or #8 looks like a 1st round knock out for sure.
The EAST is wide open.

I hope this guy Otto is soaking everything in, still not sure how he'll be used next year.

Good question. I honestly forgot about him. Seems to be a team player, taking everything in stride. Hard to knock that quality in a player. Could very well be contingent on what happens with Ariza in the off-season. If he plays well enough that some team throws some money and a long enough contract at him, I'm wondering if the Wiz will fight to keep him aboard. There's likely going to be some takers for Ariza's services out there.

Otto really coming along this season & making up for the loss of Pierce.

Is Otto on the block? He might be a nice fit at sf in OKC.

I don't think he is right now. He had a nice preseason, and Oubre isn't ready imo. It's pretty much do or die time for him though, so if he plays poorly, that could change.

The reason I mentioned Otto is Washington has two starting caliber SF's. A nice problem to have but the team has other needs. So moving Otto to fill another spot might make sense. OKC doesn't have many trad-able assets.
Kanter and maybe Payne.
