Don't be too upset with #6 pick

[Eman5805]

Yeah CBS, we're totally going to pass on Otto Porter at #6.

For Trey Burke? We just might.

[Ceedee M]

You're right man, we're just all a bunch of racists.

God forbid it simply be that Vasquez's weaknesses on the court hurt the team tremendously

I didn't call anyone a racist.

[kclaboy504]

Actually people here have said he is the worst pg, but I don't want to name who did because I don't want to give them that attention. One person even compared him to a monkey. Then there is the ridiculous bias. If Vasquez does something good, then it has to be qualified because no way Vasquez could ever do something good. Just no way. Now that is some hate. But whatever. I just hope none of the players or coaches read these forums. I hope they are busy working on getting better.

Yea not sure who that is but me personally I've never seen that kind of hate on here. Not saying your lying just never seen it myself. I'm mainly speaking on my encounters with some folks on here. All I do is talk basketball when I talk Vasquez. He does things well and plays his azz off. The things he lack are huge and that's all I talk about when speaking on him. Not sure what u meant by the prejudice remark but I think some ppl are gonna take that as a word referring to racist. I don't think anyone on here dislikes him cause he's Hispanic. If they do they are worthless themself.imo ....... basketball skills are all that matter on this board.

I'd be shocked if porter was passed on for Burke. Absolutely shocked!!!!

No. I didn't mean prejudice as racist. I don't know anyone here. Hell, the people who hate him may be Latinos. Maybe I am using prejudice wrong, but I think of it as having a bias for a person no matter what based on some preconceived notion of them. It could stem from racism or anything, but I wasn't trying to outright call anyone a racist. Venezuelan or Latino isn't even a race. I just feel like people made up their minds that they don't like Vasquez and nothing's changing that. Like I said, he can never do anything good for some people. The things he does well, anyone could do it. The things he does bad, no one else does it. But yeah, I don't feel like talking about this anymore unless Vasquez pays me to defend him on an internet forum

Heaven forbid.

I'd be shocked too but hey you never know.

...I hear ya man

Yea u never know. I'd rather porter at this point but I'd be just as happy with Burke. If that makes sense.

I think I need to change my avatar or username. I have been called a man a few times here.

[Eman5805]

The shocker would be Porter slipping that far. Someone else would have to really blow teams away in workouts.

[HornetGuru]

if porter is there when we pick i dont care who is on the board he is the pick

[Eman5805]

Coin flip is the only way I could decide. Pros and cons for both. Too even to decide.

i would have to go for the need for position for SF and go porter

[Eman5805]

Both positions are equal needs, way I see it. Need a new starter at either position.

i agree but outside of free agents would u rather go with rivers and porter or burke and miller? plus with GV i have to say the bigger need is SF

[Eman5805]

I'm of the opinion that Miller could handle starter minutes in the interim. I see too many usable skills. Good shooter. Can pass. Defend. Only thing he needs to grasp is how to defend without fouling. That's an experience thing.

I like the thought of Vasquez and/or Rivers coming off the bench as well as playing along side Burke.

Dont sleep on Bazz. He may be a little overweight, but he has an nba ready body. He shouldnt take as long getting adjusted to the physicality of the league. I expect him to be a solid man defender and a solid scorer. Could be a steal for someone...

This is what he really meant.

I expect him to be a terrible defender and be an inefficient scorer. But I didn't sleep at Holiday Inn express last night.

[endlessHIMdark]

I think that it would be highly unlikely. Porter is near consensus seen as BPA over Burke. We (IMO) have a bigger hole at SF than PG, and we all know that Monty values defensive abilities more than offense. I can't see any way we would pass on Porter for Burke right now.

Eh we will see. Its too early to judge; he might impress or disapoint in team workouts.

I don't think that's true. Most when ranking individual players rank Burke as #2 or #3 behind Noel and McLemore. It's just that almost every team has holes at SF so it's valued more for some teams and he's the best prospect in a weak, weak class.
