ESPN @ 9 p.m. - 2018 NBA Mock Draft

[RaZzMaTaZz]

If the draft went that way...I might see what it would take to get 12 & 13 from the Clippers.

I believe we can get it done if we trade our 9th and 36th pick for the Clippers 12 & 13th.

why would the Clips do that? if u had the 12th and 13th picks would u trade them for 9 and 36?

If the Clips really like someone( mikal or porter etc) they cant get them at 12 its possible they might do it. I would do it too if I really like a player I know wont drop to me.

Maybe throw a future second round pick to the Clips to ice the deal.

the clips are not run by doc rivers anymore, jerry west is in charge, he would not move back to back picks just to move up 3 spots.

damn i'd be mad if philly got lonnie

Just some background on Porter's condition (herniated disc) and treatment (microdisectomy of the spine):

- 84% of patients that undergo microdisectomy recover with good or excellent results
- Between 1-20% of microdisectomy surgery experience another herniated disc at some point

Just looking at the numbers, nothing jumps out as particularly scary. Which is all the more reason why we should be cautious if he falls to the 9th spot. He's way too talented.

I think the ESPN mock draft had him dropping all the way to 15...

How many of the patients are 6’9 professional athletes?

From my earlier post:

Results:

A total of 61 NBA players with LDH were included, of whom 34 underwent discectomy and 27 were managed nonoperatively. Return-to-play (RTP) rates did not differ between NOT and OT players (77.8% vs 79.4%). When compared with controls, OT players played significantly fewer games and had a lower PER than controls during the first postoperative season, but no difference was seen 2 and 3 years after surgery, with no difference in postoperative career length. In contrast, no difference in games played or PER was seen between NOT players and controls, although NOT players played significantly fewer postindex seasons.

worst comparison i seen for walker so far

Walker reminds me of OJ Mayo.
What about his teammate Bruce Brown?
People keep saying next D.Mitch in Walker but Brown may be the better guard of the two. Health, I think, played a part on why his development stalled after a solid 2017 campaign.

I've been preaching Bruce Brown on here but haven't gotten traction. His feel for the game and BBIQ is higher than that of Walker. He's a great rebounder for his position, can play both on and off-ball and is a good defender with length (6'5, 6'9 WS) and athleticism, His shooting %'s were not good this year (.415 FG%, .267 from 3) but I think that was due to the foot injury. He shot well his freshman year (.459 FG%, .347 from 3) and his form is solid
