I would love to get Portis on this team. DraftXpress has him at #16. He would be a steal at 16.

Just looked up some stuff about him and watched some highlights. Looks like the type of guy that might fit in here pretty well at PF. Plays hard has plenty of length has some skills. I'm sold.

@billoram: What makes D'Angelo Russell so sure he is the best player in the draft? He responds with a question of his own: "Did you watch?"

Lol I am starting to like this guy.

Porzingis has been talk up a lot the last few days. Anyone here who is an expert on him? From the vidoes you can find, he looks really long and athletic. Kind of like a 7ft version of ak47. Play above the rim and can shoot the 3. He is skinny though and dont look to be ready to bang inside the paint in the nba.

The rumors say we will target him and russel if we we dont a top 2 pick. Anyone with good info on him?

I'm not an expect but I will say that He is skinny but I wouldn't be shocked if he was 7'1" tall he is legit 7 foot I would say for sure. That kind of length can really help make up for girth especially at PF. He turns 20 in a few days I would imagine he will put on some weight. I don't think Montejunas was too thick either and he has filled out enough.

He looks really long and tall. He really should put on weight and add strength though. I saw him get push around in the videos and its going to be tougher in the nba level. Seems like a weak rebounder as well. Has tons of potential and a very high ceiling though.

He's soft and thin, and did I say soft? No thanks.

I'd take Porzingas 4th for sure. There are plenty of "soft" guys in the NBA who are successful and even all stars. I do think he has high bust potential, but he also has potential to be the best player in the draft. I think he's an extreme version of LaVine from last year

I agree with this. His lack of strength and bulk makes me wary of him. But he looks like a player. And strength and bulk are things that can be worked on. High risk/high reward type. Im not sure we can take risks at this stage point though.

Cam, off topic but Ive come across chris walker as I was looking at possible 2nd round guys we can draft. I remember you last year talking him up a lot here and telling posters to watch out for him and how good he is. What the hell happened to him? Your from florida, maybe some insight on him..
