The Step Back
I'm getting closer to advocating trading a top 3 pick for multiple top 15 selections -- if Travis has a couple of guys he loves available later in the lottery.
We could just trade for Taj Gibson if we like Carter so much. Maybe dig up Kurt Thomas?
Bruh...
Can I at least get a Antonio Davis shout out?
Kurt Thomas? SMH

Recent injuries to Cousins and Porzingis as well as the history with Embiid and Davis make me quite skeptical about big men. Today’s pace is too fast and the intensity of the game just makes it hard for a big man to stay healthy.

Lame re-rail attempt alert ... No way Porter goes back to college to "prove himself". There's more value in remaining "intriguing" by not having played. He's still 2 on my list.

We’d all love to see your list...You know, so when you claim that I missed on a certain player, I can point out your flaws as well.

My guess is he actually watched a college basketball game.

Sorry I don’t stalk you like you do me so I don’t read every lil thought that you throw out there...
Are you talking about the teams being separated by such a small margin? Or the Sura effect? Or you just decided to open your mouth just to open it.

Bleacher ReportLonnie Walker IV (Miami, SG, Freshman)
Averaging 18.0 points over Miami's last eight games, Walker is finding his scoring rhythm. He's starting to take advantage of the opportunity created from Bruce Brown Jr.'s injury. Long and explosive, Walker has a promising 2-guard foundation from which to build between his tools, athleticism and jump shot.

I have been watching both closely since the season started an Ayton hands down continues to by my #1 target. Currently watching Bagley at the moment vs UNC, Ayton following this game vs UCLA, so stay up late to watch if you have the time to do so.

He's not the best SG in the draft (yet), but he's the best prospect at the position:Bleacher ReportLonnie Walker IV (Miami, SG, Freshman)

Are you still basing that on the one game you saw him play against GT?

Now on that...we agree.
The kid has talent. But is massively unpolished.
