whatever happened to Jontay Porter? Suprised he didnt even make a roster, he was a top 10 talent in this class imo

Are his medicals really that bad?

I was never the highest on him, but ya he just has no knees left.

gotta gas up PJ washington after he dropped 27, 7/11 from 3 in his nba debut

[clyde21]

PJ was always ridiculously underrated, look up the Kentucky thread this year...he's the prototype NBA 4 in the modern game

PJ Washington made seven 3-pointers on Wednesday, the most ever in an NBA debut, scoring 27 points with four rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block.

It was a monumental start for Washington, who began his NBA debut 3-of-3 from downtown in the opening minutes and was 5-of-7 by halftime. It took him all of five preseason games to usurp the starting job from Nicolas Batum, and the job is obviously his to lose -- Batum got hurt (again) tonight and we're betting on Washington to retain the spot all year. He shot lights out in exhibitions (62.9% FG, 50.0% 3PT, 81.8% FT) and had some defensive stats, so make sure he didn't go undrafted in your league. If he did, grab him while you still can.

[clyde21]

Bulls rookie Coby White made 6-of-13 FGs and 4-of-5 FTs for 17 points in 27 minutes on Wednesday.

Chicago's lottery pick added seven assists and three rebounds tonight, without any defensive stats. He was a high-usage scorer in the preseason, with decent efficiency, and looked the part of a sixth-man scoring guard tonight. It helps that starting PG Tomas Satoransky is versatile enough to play three positions, giving White extra space in small lineups. We've yet to see him provide well-rounded stats, but there's enough upside to grab him wherever he's available.

[clyde21]

couple of records hit tonight

PJ first player to his that 7 3s in his NBA debut, and scored most points in a debut since 2002

RJ 2nd youngest player to score 20+ points in a debute

i might end up eating some crow on him.
i liked his game in ky, but not seeing a huge upside even at this point...but if that recipe continues into a trend he had a floor high enough to justify where he was drafted.
the stupid part is Charlotte needs to bottom out by drafting high upside projects not high floor starter ceiling types that keep the treadmill running.

lol if PJ Washington is good enough to "keep the treadmill running" after losing Kemba Walker and Jeremy Lamb, and benching all our veterans then thats a **** brilliant pick at that spot are you kidding me? Hornets just won a game dominated by their rookie and a 2nd year and 3rd year 2nd round picks and people are still trying to trash our drafting. the Vonleh/Bismack/MKG project days are over, praise Jesus

Monk wasn't a project at least, he dropped 47 on UNC and was supposed to be ready to come and get buckets, turns out he just kinda sucks

I considered him another typical blueblood high floor safe pick from MJ . not trashing the player just not impressed with the lack of risk and the pick placement and tbh Charlotte never getting anyone via the draft that has superstar potential. Granted there wasn't much left in that regard when you selected him

[karkinos]

monk is going to win you as many games as monta ellis was expected to

[clyde21]

damn Coby is such a good shot maker...when/if his playmaking develops to keep up with his scoring, look out...stud

[clyde21]

monk is going to win you as many games as monta ellis was expected to

Monk is absolute garbage...a whopping -31 and 0 points tonight in 19 minutes

on the flip side PJ double doubled

[doordoor123]

Monk is the same player he was in college. Skinny, can’t defend, can score a lot but is super inconsistent. He hasn’t gotten much better. Maybe his playmaking a little, but that’s really it.

[GimmeDat]

I think the most promising thing for me with Coby is that he's willingly implementing new aspects to his game. He's being used as a scoring guard and that's fine, we're not running with a 'PG' per se anyway, but he's been making off hand skip passes and some other reads he simply did not make in college. Sometimes he's a bit over-helpful on defense and ruins rotations but for the most part he's super active and more effective than we thought he'd be. Also happens to be shooting at an extremely good clip right now.

I'm sure some Bulls fans will overreact, he's inevitably going to be quite erratic I think, especially once his shots stop dropping at a .655 TS% rate, and whether he'll be able to reign in his aggressiveness if so, but it's certainly encouraging that he can get where he wants on the floor, and is contributing in ways other than scoring.

he's finishing a lot better at the rim so far, that's been his biggest improvement, hopefully he keeps it up

Yeah that's true. Hasn't been too many attempts out of control/barging in to traffic, he's picked his spots well.

[CjayC]

Morant needs someone next to him that can shoot next to him. Him seeing clogged paints everytime he tries to drive is gonna be all bad for his development.
