Anyone else think it's scary that he wears #22 as well?

I like Bennett a lot. But he's come back to earth after his hot start. Personally I wouldn't draft him top 5. I've come to the conclusion he's a 4 through and through. In the mold of Paul milsap?

You don't mean that if the Raptors (or any other team in the NBA) got the first pick you'd want them to pick Porter, do you?

Porter went on a 7-0 run in the first half, Gtown took control of the game away from st.johns. Then porter sat and Gtown simply maintained the lead. When porter came back on in the second half he wasn't hugely involved in the offence. He's very unselfish moving the ball really well.

Overall it was an ugly foul filled game. But boy oh boy did Porter ever put on a show in that first half run.

Thx Cdel. Indiana vs Michigan right now. Very good game. Zeller surprising me, didn't think much of him before. Also Trey Burke looks nasty. Buzzer 3 at the end of the first half.

Trey is starting to chuck. Olipedo is crazy too. Not sure what he reply 'excels' at. But he hustles, rebounds and athletic. I think there's gonna be a lot of quality picks mid/late picks.

Who does Burke remind you guys of? I kinda. Think less athletic Derrick rose? I don't know although even with Indiana at home thought that Michigan would have lead at this point.

I'm exactly sure who his comp would be tbh. Handles the ball well, gets into the lane well. Rebounds well for a guard. He has decent court vision, but is potent to playing solo ball. I dunno maybe a less athletic rose is a decent comp.

Even though we don't have a pick this year we could probably buy a pick late in the first round. There's a lot of. Eternal teams with high payrolls that probably haveno use for a rookie. I'd still love to draft Kabongo with a pick like that. Would fill a need at back up pg too.

I'm hoping that we pick up another draft pick. Either trade for one or buy one.,I just see a lot of talent/potential mid/late in the draft.

Let's face it, BC has proven he gives 0 f*cks about trading for or buying 1sts...

Not true. I'm sure he tries. He just can't find a deal that works for both teams involved. Or in terms of buying picks I'm not sure what his excuse would be. I remember a year where the late draft teams (20s) were trading picks for cash and what not.
