Which is huge in any comparison bc Aminu relies on it so much!Quote:

04-13-2013, 01:06 PMGESWhoseBackHonestly I think Aminu destroys Porter in practice. That athleticism is undeniable. But everyone will want Porter cause he is the better shooter but Aminu better than him in every other part of the game while being the vastly superior athlete.Quote:

I think if we get porter people need to think in terms of Aminu AND Porter not OR. I'd prefer Aminu off the bench bc I think he can guard the 4 as well.

04-13-2013, 01:17 PMGESWhoseBackI would rather porter off the bench cause we need more bench scoring. With a Healthy Gordon, AD, and Lopez in the starting lineup defense and rebounding more important for the starters. But to be honest I don't like porter at all he is overrated in my opinion. Him and Zeller are the two guys I don't see the athleticism in them to get the job done in the NBAQuote:

I thought we could only offer Aminu the QO bc we didnt pick up his option. Am i right or can we actually sign him to a reasonable long term contact?
-
04-13-2013, 01:24 PMGESWhoseBackOk I can see that but who is the PG and C if we draft Porter. By the way I have always been cool with the Rivers at PG plan and I am waiting patiently for them to finally do it.Quote:

BEst case scenario in my opinion is to get a high pick, trade back to around 6-7, draft shabbazz
-
04-13-2013, 01:29 PMJJackisangryAhh cool. Yeah someone made a meal of his situation and apparently we had little chance of re signing him. So i got confused; thanks for the clarificationQuote:

It's said that if he's not coddled to and treated like the franchise cornerstone, he'll throw a hissy fit and not get along with anyone?
Where? Not to mention it's only someone's opinion. No telling how he'll actually react until he's drafted somewhere. And note I only lobby for him in this regard because of the apparent hyperbole. -
04-13-2013, 01:52 PMKumarBased on what? Those two have never interacted, nor do you know them personally. Sounds ridiculous. Its pure speculation.Quote:

Overblown.
-
04-13-2013, 01:59 PMGESWhoseBackNo don't know them personally but having one guy who gives his all on both sides of the floor and another who dogs it on defense don't seem like to guys who will mesh well together. Especially when they both want to be the Man. But maybe Davis will let be the man. Who knows?Quote:

Still rather Bazz over Len if that's what it comes to.
-
04-13-2013, 02:06 PMEman5805Continuing the devil's advocate, I also saw the shot that he didn't celebrate. It was a very bad shot, drifting away from the basket and the player's shooting arm with loads of defensive pressure. Maybe he counted the team more lucky they won than just being despondent because he didn't get the ball.Quote:
