Wherehappens.
Anthony Bennett is NOT a small forward. If we were to draft him and put him there, it'd be one of the biggest mistakes this franchise ever made. He'd be an Aminu clone, and a husky one, at that.
While i agree with u it would be a terrible idea to put bennette at SF, it is because he is too slow to defend the perimeter, but he is in no way a aminu clone, they are actually exact opposites besides their great rebounding ability. aminu is way more athletic, aminu is longer, bennette is compactly built, aminu cant shoot, bennette can, aminu has great D, Bennette does not

The sheer fact that Bennett is offensively competent is more than enough to dispel any Aminu comparisons. If anything he'd be a Derrick Williams type.
Strange how often you hear people make Aminu, Ariza, or Julian Wright comparisons through the years.
Kinda can't see past our own faces it seems.
Bennet almost has that Paul Millsapp feel personally. I haven't seen D Williams play even when he was in college.

Interesting read on Oladipo about his work ethic. I might be coming around on this guy.
@DanielVeuleman
He's a beast, he would be the #1 pick if he could shoot but i dont think he will ever be above an ok shooter. we need someone who can hit the 3 to space the floor for us badly.

I think we're good with 3 point shooters. We bring Anderson, Mason, and Miller off the bench. Vasquez and Gordon are decent shooters from deep too. Our 3 just needs to be competent enough to be worth guarding on the perimeter. Porter is that in spades.
List in order....porter,shabazz,smart/Burke,Len

I agree with u but i meant strictly in the starting lineup to help open up the floor, a good 3pt shooting SF will help open it up for rivers and gordon to drive and davis' midrange.
No McLemore?

A lot of people gave him flack for not jumping up and down when what's his name took and made that shot. But I wonder if I've ever seen Kobe do that or, maybe more importantly, if it's something I'd think Kobe is capable of.
Because, let's be real, Muhammad is the best player on his team. Other guys are nice. But he's the go to guy. And from accounts he wants to be the go to guy. He wants the rock in the clutch. That's the first step to actually becoming clutch. And when he doesn't get the ball, maybe he felt like the game was just put in the less capable hands.
I dunno. Just rambling.
But he's reasserted himself high on my wishlist. McLemore and Otto are still higher than him. But he ranks right in there with Oladipo, Smart, Burke, and Noel.
Right now I would be happy with either Otto or Bazz. Either one will be an upgrade and add the dynamic of perimeter shooting and play-making ability that we need.
Ya well once again with our cap space and most likely top 5 pick in mclemore, porter, bazz, smart, or noel our future looks awesome.
Oh **** lol we have to get this dude. He's exactly what this team needs mentally.

R.I.P. to HunnyB/FlyGirl
Bazz has scored 21 points in each of his last 4 games and UCLA is on a 5 game win streak, kid can ball, he has that killer winning mentality like Kobe.
his measurement is gonna be key at the combine. if he's 6'6" people are gonna question what position he is. 6'7" people can see him more as a SF. one inch seems so small but it makes a big difference to teams. no denying he's probably going to be the best scorer at the next level
Ya well right now is is 6"6 with a 7"0 wingspan and great size at 225, he is only 18, if he can grow another inch or wear some big shoes to put him at 6"7 or 6"7.5 itll definetly help him lol, but if he does in fact measure 6"7 I want him to be our pick hands down, at 6'7 with a 7ft wingspan i think u can play SF in this league which is becoming smaller, Iggy is only 6"6 and he did it.
Porter's last 5 games:
33-8-2
22-5-4
28-8-2
17-4-5
10-8-7
dude is balling, he really can score, pass, defend and rebound.

Shabazz last 6 games:
25-5
11-3-1
21-7-1
18-3
14-3
21-6
idk who i want out of him or porter.
Man draft night will be so much fun:-)
Lottery night, Draft night, and free agency will be very excitingi wish it was now!
Cant wait to find out what pick we have.
Shabazz has a scoring knack that this team has NEVER had before. I literally don't see young players in the league with his skill right now. His athleticism and scoring reminds me of Pierce a lot. Between him Davis, Anderson, Gordon, and Rivers if he develops good could combine to be a great scoring team with a ton of options.
Ya i also see a ton of pierce in him. Fantastic jumpshot, killer mentality, ok rebounder, ok defender, great body size and control to hit tough layups, a paul pierce would be perfect for us.
