Wasn’t it reported that Porzingis not only wouldn’t work out for the Sixers, but his agent wouldn’t turn over his physical report either.

It doesn’t matter. If we draft KP he’s belongs to us.

I wouldn’t have used green font in 2015.

DSJ is getting gobbled up out there almost every night. His dimensions are gonna give him issues. TBH a lot of these guys have played just as bad has Fultz. Fultz didn't get the chance to have his one game against a crappy team to make him look good though.

Being a guard in the NBA as a teenager **** sucks.

It really does. Watching some of these young guards react to the physicality on drives is eye opening. I mean I knew it before but this year so many of these guys are getting tossed out into the fire that its even more apparent.

Kinda makes Ben Simmons' start even more impressive.

Well ben is a little older and more physically ready but yeah especially considering he's never really played the position before.

Sixers beat the Pistons who beat the Warriors in Golden State, which means Sixers are winning the title this year!

You can do this with the Rockets now, too.

While I hear you, teams are loathe to give guaranteed multi million dollar salaries to players without doing their full due diligence, and not getting a workout or having access to medical files on a potential draftee is too big of a risk for a team drafting in the top 5. There's also the possibility that ownership told Sam to take Jah. And the fact that at the time Okafor was almost universally considered a better prospect than Porzingis.

Makes you appreciate what Iverson was like as a rookie even more too. He was significantly smaller than Dennis Smith, and he physically dominated from day 1.

It is interesting, as much as we have talked about this rookie class (this draft, not Ben), none have been that impressive so far. I'd still take a one armed Fultz.

If Ben isn't rookie of the year, he should probably sue the NBA.

Outside of Simmons Tatum has been the best rookie. He’s impressive.

Put him on the Hawks and see how impressive he looks.

He is benefiting from being on a good team, not to be confused with him personally being all world.

Simmons is a rookie, and Porzingis is in his 3rd year so comparing them today is a bit unfair.

That being said, Simmons all day. Porzingis has been great so far this year though, and may be better than I thought. I thought he had all star potential, but he has been looking better than that so far.

Unfair like for KP's advantage?

If you think so, then again I invite u to compare their BPMs
