Michael Porter Jr seems like the typical overrated high school scorer

I see no reason to talk myself out of Doncic.

I think we missed our chance during this draft. #7, #10, #13 got traded... Probably could have traded up for #8 too. I'd be pretty happy if we had Mitchel or DSJ.

Hopefully someone will be good at #17 next year.

I'll say the same thing I said before the last draft.
A wing that can dribble, pass, and has the ability to create his own shot.
Not another 7 footer who wants to stand at the 3 pt line.

For some reason not a fan of Porter at all.

I'm looking at this year's crop of PG's...and I'm gauging their 'Bucks DNA' levels. I've reached out to agents. I'll let you know.

Yeah he's got great straight line & vertical athleticism but doesn't have the greatest quickness, handles are not very good. Not a good defender or playmaker either. He does have other intriguing tools but not sure I see a franchise player.

Not a better prospect than Parker was coming out. He'll score for sure but he settles for jumpers and isn't a decision maker. Plus there's the whole "I think I'm a perimeter SF" attitude when he needs to be at the 4 with his Julius Randle type athleticism.

I think Bamba, Doncic, and Bagley are the best prospects here. Though Ayton could put it together and end up as Towns Jr, Arizona is a really good spot for him.

There's no way that weight's accurate. He's better off getting a scholarship to play O-line for Alabama if true.

He does look quite a bit heavier than he has in the past.
