Only two PTs at halftime but lead rebounds and assists. I like the kid and burke
I haven't followed much. But alot of hype of Poythress early on. Why he fall? Shooting almost 60% and 43% from three

Monty would just LOVE Otto Porter. Long, smart, plays great defense, versatile.

There's been no fall. But I just wonder if he's even coming out this year.Originally Posted by Shelbywmccarty

Otto Porter's points don't justify what he's doing out there. he's orchestrating this team from the free throw line. They really run through him. he has a great understanding for the game and doing whatever he has to do to give his team the best chance to win. i've been watching this whole game, guys only taken three shots but you can see he's finding the open guys

The stats really don't bear it out. He's the key cog. He's like a 6'9" high post PG. Syracuse has no answer for him. They overload, he can pass over the top of the trap. If they come too slowly, he can rise up and knock down the jumper.
Dude would fit so many needs if we managed to draft him.
really is a triple double threat every night out. takes what you give him. Nowhere on the floor you can't pay attention to him. All those midrange and long range spots aminu can't hit, Porter can
His versatility reminds me of Davis. Imagine him and Davis on the floor at the same time? The options and versatility would be a little mind boggling.
R.I.P. to HunnyB/FlyGirl
he's also great at finding bigs... something our guys miss is davis open on the baseline
Did anyone watch the Syr bs Georgetown game fully? Who did porter match up against and did he execute well?
Marcus Smart is the pick if he's on the board.
Think we are gonna take a SF or C, no place for smart unless we trade gordon.
Smart would be a fun PG to have honestly. He reminds me of a less athletic Wade.
"I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

Always, always, always draft BPA if they don't fit they become assets.
I watched the last 10 minutes of the okst v kst game and Smart won that game with his scoring off the dribble and played solid defense and picking up 2 big defensive rebounds in the closing minutes with Kansas players crashing the glass hard. Smart will be a top 2 pick with maybe the Magic picking him up.
If i were the Magic i'd be trying to acquire 2 picks in the top 12 with their pick. No one is outlandishly good.
Ya ur right but i think shabazz otto porter and smart are all about the same so i think we'll go with BPA and need. I would be fine with smart or oladipo if we traded gordon
Smart fills backup PG and backup SG so I won't be opposed to him. I think McLemore would be a 2 with spot 3 abilities because of his good defense. Then Porter, then shabazz for same reason as McLemore.
I cant wait til the draft and free agency hollllly cow
It wouldn't surprise me if they did trade down for picks in next years draft, but I know The Magic need a guard, specifically a PG.
This, I been waiting for free agency this year ever since we traded Ariza and Mek lol

I doubt Marcus Smart is still available when we pick, but he's my #1. But Otto Porter is probably the favorite to be drafted by us. Smart though. That size, athleticism, strength. Oh my god. And his defense? It's fantastic.

I watched most of it. Porter could've looked for his offense more if he wanted, but he choose to find every single gap in the 'Cuse 2-3 zone and facilitated, moving the ball. He pretty much locked up CJ Fair save for some crazy shots Fair made under duress.
All in all, it was the kinda game where guys get triple doubles, though he only scored like 10 points.
