Heads up pistons fans.

Grab Otto Porter Jr. SF with the Hoyas and RUN :)

Jose/knight/porter/Monroe/Drummond

Absolutely sick.

Cheers.

yeah it would be nice, but im not sure how likely it is. it looks like the teams that will be picking ahead of us with the exception of Charlotte could all use a SF as well. Wash, Cleveland, Seattle(Sac) and even Pho, N.O. and Orlando could all be looking at Porter, especially Cleveland and Seattle.

I haven't seen Porter play much, could someone explain to me why so many people want him? He has no 3 point shot, he's got a good midrange shot, but everytime I see him shoot the shot looks flat, so I'm not sure he's ever be able to extend his range very much if at all. I get that he's a good defender, but he just seems like Corey/Ronny Brewer. Good defender but not much else. Is there something that I'm missing or don't know about his game?

Apologies I didn't find your main draft thread sorry for work to merge mods.

As for porters range he fixed his shot and has climbed from 20ish % to 40ish % from 3
46.2% from 3 is xcellent but improving as much as he did is awesome work ethic :)

I will let ajax or biglip do the merge so both threads don't vanish into thin air like what happened last time I tried. :o :lol:

He shoots 46% from three on 2.7 attempts

Huh, my bad. I just watched a draft express video and it said he only shot 22% from 3. Well in that case I'm definitely not against the idea anymore.
