Otto Porter went on to earn massive contracts and is still a serviceable player. Looks like the future is bright for LaMelo

I'm sure his life will still be less miserable than yours.

I thought scoring is his biggest/only upside.

This isn't fair to Otto. Don't do this.

He was also the best passer since Magic.

This is a kid that is living his dream who was probably nervous, are we really going to throw rocks right now?

Weird thread, Otto Porter was an extremely successful player until his injuries and Oden was great when healthy too. If you're going to post a stat to drag a dude, you probably shouldn't discredit it in the next breath.

Patrick Williams -35 in NBA debut, is that the worst all time by a top 4 pick?

Wish him well but wish it didn't feel like one had to overlook massive red flags just to stay optimistic about his prospects

Yes, he needs to be humbled.
