Damn, well at least you are my second favorite team to watch. I was hoping he slid to the Suns at this point.

It's a risk but IMO it's worth it. Without a risk there isn't chances, we now waiting if he can play this season.
And if he can't... Simmons, Embiid... I repeat, it's worth the risk.

Very risky pick. A lot of teams passed on him for a reason. Hope the back holds up. Likely won’t play this coming season.

This raised our ceiling so much. Who knows if he’ll be 100% but if he reaches his potential.... dynasty level upside.

And could be the best pick in the draft. Unless you've seen the medical report, your speculation is just that, speculation.

Hope he works out for you, definitely the right pick here.

You are the perfect team to take the risk. You are pretty stacked, and if he pans out, it's a home run.

Holy moly

Nugs may have gotten the best player in the draft at 14!!!

What a move!

And he is SF, exactly what we needs the most.

Now if we can get some defense with pick 43 (or move up ?), this will be a solid draft.

I waited and waited and watched the clock. I had to leave for about 40 minutes and I couldn't wait any longer. They were on #13. I come back and WOW! A gamble but before his back injury, they thought he might go number one (before last college season) or so some said. I'm happy and if he's healthy, I don't think even Malone can justify not giving this guy 20+ mpg even early in the season.

The celebration has commenced.... but if Melvin Frazier somehow makes it to us in the 2nd.... it’s going DOWN

Josh Kroenke is a Missouri alum, I would think they know as much as any team about porter Jr.

A week ago I would have been fine giving up the pick and Lyles for this guy, if you told me a year ago we drafted Porter JR I would think you were crazy but his injury scares me. Although I guess if he plays as many games as Gallo he can be a huge asset.

Between gallo and chandler, no team in the league should be better equipped to deal with an injured SF than us :lol:

We should never complain about that injury at all, because we would never be able to pick Porter on this draft at #14 without that injury.

KBD and Melvin Frazier both still on the board.....

Time to move up and make this draft even better !!!

We all know our FO like to pick international players, Karnisovas especially, so serious contenders for our #43 probably is UKR Issuf Sanon and LAT Rodions Kurucs

Well that’s disappointing

So, next year maybe we will draft 3 or 4 PGs xD
