Krystaps Porzingis to Magic (12th Pick) ?

[Maga_1]

Btw, Hezonja is going to disapoint the **** of everybody because of the place he was drafted. Terrible situation getting drafted and play 10min per game because you have your franchise player (who should be a role player) in Oladipo playing most of his minutes.

No, i think he went to a bad place in terms of playing time.
Orlando is a great team to develop right now, we can all see Payton's development but i think playing behind Oladipo doesn't help me him at all.
For example, he in Denver would be awesome... they have a real gap in that position. It's not like the potential and talent isn't there because it is... it just won't be fullfiled.

Btw, i hate Aaron Gordon... i don't see anything special in him.
And i hate even more Oladipo, i think he's not going to get any better than what he is right now.

I love Vukcevic, Fourneir and Payton tho.

Tell me in your opinion what he does really well? I don't see it.
I remember following him in the last two years of highschool and for me he was just a "mixtape guy", he improved true to be told but i still think he doesn't have a "amazing skill" that will translate in a good career.
He's very athletic, high motor but can't really shot, can't really dribble and he's a mismatche if he plays at the 4 because he can't body the other 4's.
A tweener that can't shoot.
(I know they play nothing alike) but i see him as a Derrick Williams future.

He's a very good defender. Individually and with help defense. He can guard anyone from 1-4 and last game he was guarding Demarcus Cousins. He guarded Harden well, KD, etc. You aren't really going to see him do much right now because this team is brutally under developing him for lesser players so they can sell winning games to the fans. I really just want to make a mixtape to show how skilled he is defensively, he has his younger mistakes but he's really good. He has the capability to do a lot of things this team just stifles the hell out of him. There's a major disconnect between the coach and the GM right now imo.
Doesn't mean much but here's his SL highlights

Shit franchise stays losing. Idiot fanbase

[Dr.J4ever]

76er fans hotly debated pre-draft who we should take at #3. It was between Rusell and Porz since we thought LA would take Okafor.

The consensus was Russell, and I am so glad the Lakers took him. It's not the stats, because you can almost ignore the stats when it comes to rookies. What he has shown so far is not impressive. He has not shown flashes of greatness tbh.

We are happy with Okafor who had 16 points, 11 boards, and 3 blocks the other night vs. Miami. He is improving on the boards and defensively. Of course, he is already being doubled in the post, and he is facing up and driving by defenders on isos. Jah could easily be a beast and superstar in 2 years when he gets stronger.

Now, as for Porz, good call by Maga. I saw him the other night vs. Hou, and man, he is impressive. He is legit, and believe me, I'm not exactly happy to say that because there are some fans from Philly who regret Oak, and think Porz fits in better with Noel.

Of course, time will tell. In the end though, it is becoming likely that this draft will be remembered as having produced 3 game changers in Towns, Oak, and Porz. .

I give you that, IMO is the only skill that really translated well.
But think about it, how many 3's or 4's are just defensive especialists that can't shoot a lot? I know some 3's but, that's it.
I can't see any real comparasion right now for him.

He's a 3.

His best comparison is Shawn Marion.
