average defender at best, and bad shooter, bad shot selection, not a great playmaker either.

I really like Bamba. Orlando has done well with bigs in the draft in the past. Will that trend continue?

Orlando not having a steady point guard will hurt Bamba at the start of his career imo

I thought so too, but the Sixers may trade that pick based on reports and they've also been tied to Zhaire Smith as well.

It's the injury history. Everyone's scared of his health.

I'm going to post a poll on who the Clippers should take based on what's available once we're on the clock.

the kid has not played a single game over a year. Back injuries are often chronic and never go away.
I dont think we are in a position to rill the dice on this guy. I hope we stay away

Knox off the board at #9, Bridges probably goes to the 6ers and, hopefully, the Hornets take Robert Williams

Id be down for Shai and Porter Jr.
Plus, why would I want to go to the NBA? Duke players suck in the pros.

i'm guessing hornets take sga, but i would hope they take williams. would be very excited to come away with both porter and sga. yes, porter is a risk but in our pick range you gamble on stardom.
