When would Wall have scouted Bennett or even seen him play? How much does he even know about the kid?

I doubt he was seriously pushing the FO to draft Bennett. Probably just thought Bennett could be a good fit.

Very strong signals coming that Wizards are taking Otto Porter at 3 if he's there. Confirms what we've been hearing for months.

It's out of our hands now.

We're no longer debaters but simply Wiz fans.

Lets pray.

It was never in our hands. All we do is guess based on less then enough information.

If Porter is off the board, then the Wizards take Anthony Bennett. But only chance Porter isn't there is trade or Cavs take him 1.

PORTER, PORTER, PORTER!

We all know it's gonna be Otto. We all knew it ever since the lottery. Do you really expect any other result?

Oh well, I hope Otto proves me wrong.

Let it be known that I like Noel, Len, Shabaaz, Zeller (I know I was harsh on him before), Adams, and Mccollum in this draft.

Ford has Bennett falling to 7 at Sac. Trade down and pick up Patterson+Thorton for Ves+Singleton in a pick exchange.

Otto Porter come on down. Perfect fit for this team.

I don't think I've seen a better small forward in this league. He's just a complete player. If we were still in this league, I'd be saying that to get him out.

I'm trying to get myself excited about picking Porter- cause I'm having trouble with his lack of elite ... anything. Did Jim Boeheim really think that Otto is the best all around player in the history of the Big East? Better than Carmelo?

I guess I'll take that. :-?

I would trade down for Olynyk or McCollum. I think Karasev will be a better SF, but Porter will be a very solid pick. I think Zeller and Oladipo will be better players than Otto.

This draft my only very strong feeling is don't draft Bennett.

I will even be pleased if by some way the Wizards end up with Alex Len.

Trading down and coming away with a C and a backup PG/SG, like Nate Wolters, would make my day. I'm not looking for it.

You need to post more often.

I still think if Noel falls to 3, we should take him. Otherwise, Porter is the right choice.

The Wizards are expected to select Otto Porter if he is on the board at No. 3, according to Chad Ford.

jeffsays · Post #498 » by **jeffsays** » Thu Jun 27, 2013 11:11 pm

Otto or bust! I guess I'd take a trade for Cousins too, but please no bennett!
