I fully expect that we will take Porter if he is there, but who-knows.



Reggie Bullock, Dario Saric, Tony Snell, Vander Blue, Michael Snaer, Brandon Paul, Carrick Felix, D. J. Stephens
Tre Johnson is the future of the Wizards.

CCJ - You have a feel for these prospects. If you were Ernie, would you take Zeller at 3 and take one of these^ other guys as a SF prospect? Are any of these guys sleepers who could be nearly as-good as Porter?

I'm still of the mind that Porter can gain 20-30 lbs and give you spot minutes at small ball as a stretch 4 though.

The more I think about it, the more I like Zeller. If he really can hit three's that changes everything. He would be a perfect fit on our roster as a PF who can defend well and hit from the perimeter, while also having good touch around the basket and a high bball IQ. The only hole on the roster would be our lack of depth at the PG position. If we could somehow trade Seraphin for a decent young combo guard, it would all come together nicely. What about Seraphin for a guy like Jerryd Bayless? The salaries line up:

PG Wall/Bayless
SG Beal/Bayless
SF Webster/Ariza
PF Nene/Zeller/Booker
C Okafor/Nene

If Zeller is accurate out to the 3, I would put him over Porter. As of now, my top 3 assuming Noel is gone goes like this:
1) Bennett
2) Zeller
3) Porter

Again, I still think Bennett has a chance of being elite, hence my placement of him first.

Edit: I also doubt Zeller lasts long, so we should draft him at #3 if we want him.
