Memphis board had all of 3 votes; MPJ won 2 to 1 over JJJ.

which is why I never set a time limit on voting when I originated this thing several years ago. one day on the slower boards is not enough

Holy **** I think this is JJJ. Thanks for voting.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Wow, maybe bulls fans are naive to think porter will be there, at 7.

He didn't do combine stuff but I dont like the chances that he could be off the board

I think so. Some bigger sport sites' mock drafts had MPJ at #9 even.

MPJ will be the one left at #7 me thinks. JJJ won't be available. Just my feeling about it. Not sure about MPJ myself, it does feel like a gamble with his back situation.

I don’t see JJJ falling all the way down to 7. Mostly likely to fall will be either Porter Jr or Trae Young.

Someone has to fall to 7. Either him or Trae Young.

Top 7 picks will be anyone from Ayton, Doncic, Bagley, JJJ, Bamba, Porter Jr., and Trae Young.

I expect him to go top 5, but I wouldn't be completely shocked if JJJ is the guy that falls on draft day. He has maybe the highest ceiling of anyone in the draft, but he's also the most raw and has the most to prove. He should at the least be a solid defender but he had trouble staying on the floor at times due to foul trouble and not having the coaches trust in crunch time. IMO he has the highest bust potential of the projected top 10 picks.

Having said that if he's the guy the ends up dropping you're geeked about it.

Yes. And really, who cares about Portis in the grand scheme of things. On a decent team he’s a random low minute bench guy who shoots a lot.
