Glenn Robinson III. I think he'll end up in the 5-10 range by season's end

Porter honestly doesn't impress me.....for that matter neither does Len. I suspect if I had DC news I might feel differently.

Watching Otto Porter right now.
Long. Can hit a 3. Defends and talks a lot on defense
Looks good.
I love Porter...think he can be better than Prince. His shot has come along a great deal and his length would be great at the 3 for us. I also think his offensive upside is better than a 3 and D type. He had a couple of iso opportunities yesterday and off the dribble was able to get good jump shots off. A couple rimmd out but the talent is there and the Princeton office probably hurts him...he's also a rook that would fit in and play within a team concept....he's and ideal mid lotto pick IMO.

Poythress is an excellent finisher, that is something singleton clearly lacks. We wouldn't be asking him to handle the ball much, as that is Wall's duty. He just needs to continue to work on the 3 ball and improve on the defensive end. We need strong rebounding. I don't see why he can't have K. Leonard type improvement.

He's definitely a team player, but I don't think he's the best value within the top 10. He's just okay to me, okay ballhandler, okay shooter. Good team player, willing defender. Nothing out of this world.

Unloading Trevor A? Are you kidding me? What is there to unload ? He is 27, long, a great defender, he steals, rebounds and he can hit the 3 when open. He guard multiple positions and he isn't a head case. Why would you trade him ?
The team doesn't need to unload anyone let alone Trevor A. If anyone is getting shipped out it going to be Singleton and or Ves.

All those oks sound pretty good to me.

We need to get out of this endless cycle of drafting rookie that have to start.
I would draft one of them and then groom them. If they take someone position, then so be it. If they are good, they can start year two.
