I still would be happy with Burke. I really don't dislike any of the guys that are possible at 6, I think we are in a prime position especially now with Len's rise.

Alex Len as the #1 pick? The entire NBA would have to send Cleveland a thank you card.
If you Jimmer it, they will come.

Why?
I believe Len or McLemore will go #1.
I just cant see Phoenix taking Porter. It is Washington or us IMO and though everyone has said he is a lock, I have never bought that

Honestly the more I've watched him I've kind of become "meh" on Otto Porter.
I don't know why people are so against Len. To me, the dude has massive potential. 7'1", already pretty skilled and can move. Maryland's guards never fed him the ball to dominate, but the potential is there.
Wrong guy to look to if you want to be wowed, he'll never do that for you. But if you want to win and a guy who can do it all then he's your man.Originally Posted by AD23forMVP
I can see that, but I gotta say that I have been a Georgetown fan since 1991. I watched almost every Porter game, and even more importantly, almost every game of the John Thompson III era. It would be so hard for any prospect to excite you in that system. If Andrew Wiggins went there, it would be hard to get excited about him.
They are all about teaching and stressing fundamentals, slowing the game down and using every second of that shot clock. No isos or pick and rolls, etc. It is totally about the team with them, and sometimes that takes the shine off of individuals.
Take that for what its worth.
You know who else has massive potential Enes Kanter, and he was supposed to be a better prospect than Len.
I hope Cleveland does take Len; it certainly would open us up for better options.
Len is going before us, whether it is 1, 4, or 5. That's for sure.
Like I said a week ago - Len is the only guy in this entire draft that I can't see one scenario where he falls to 6. Could make a scenario for anybody else. Not Len.
It kind of makes you realize why AI bolted so quickly while under John Thompson Jr.
I like Porter, and if we landed him it would be a great move. We would finally have the sf we have lacked for years.
Andre Drummond also had a ton of potential and slipped due to questions about his productivity in college. I think everyone but the Pels are kicking themselves for passing him today. It works both ways.
Not really a fair or logical arguement. You're arguing about not reaching potential in hindsight. There are also a lot of players that were said to not have much potential that are balling now, same with others who did reach their potential, so looking at that after the fact isn't fair. As of now, these guys are rated as unknown commodities and regardless of how sure people are the fact is no one KNOWS anything. They are all rated on potential. Len has a lot of it, as much as anyone, if not more, in the draft. Period.
Enes Kanter has Al Jefferson in front of him, and i know you personally don't like him, but it's hard to take 20/10 off the floor for a kid. I think this year is the year we see what Kanter can do assuming they don't resign Jefferson.
"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.'"

Al Jefferson is the worst defending big man....its not hard to take him off the floor if you have a better option on the bench. The Jazz did better defensivly when Jefferson was on the bench.
Kanter and Len are the same guy. Big player, nice outside shot to stretch a def. Only difference is Len is coming in with an injury. Take it as you will, but drafting a big who is already starting off hurt isn't the best option around town.
I haven't seen much of Porter except his highlights but he looks slow and uncoordinated to me. With that being said, I still hope he falls to us...
I just don't see us taking Burke at #6.
Cleveland picking Len wouldn't be that much safer injury-wise.
I can see Len might look safer offensively, but I still take Noel over Len every day of the week.
Jrue dat
Looking at the mock I see only one pick this year. What happened to our 2nd round?
just teasing us... but i also think Len is a better #1 than Noel. more potential on both ends of the ball and its not like Noel is any more of a certainty to be a good player and no real need at the 2 with Dion Waiters being picked last year
I believe that got shipped out in the Xavier Henry trade?
This is good news regardless. If Porter and Burke are on the board at 6 I will go to sleep that night a happy man.
Wherehappens.
I think Otto Porter is the Marvin Williams of this draft.
McLemore
Bennet
Oladipo
McCollum
Pope
alex len
one of these
Not surprised at Len #1. That's where the rumors are going now.
Marvin Williams was a risk player when he was drafted. He didn't even start on UNC and play a large number of minutes. Otto Porter is the complete opposite
