Bobby Portis already avg, 20 PPG and 10 RPG

Emphasis on the small sample size.

As in playing 16 mpg with 194 minutes over 12 games. This was my pick for #16, but this is a tiny sample size and his total shooting % is nothing special for a big and neither is his rebound %. OTOH, he's got decent defensive +/- numbers for a rookie, but it's still a tiny sample

Everyone is talking about Portis but the real tragedy was missing on Myles Turner. We should have been picking at the 11th spot at least, had Ainge waived Bass or Gigi or Jonas at the deadline.

I can see the differance in Turner and his hip/gait problem. But in a year or going into his 3rd season, that should be corrected, and he will be a beast.

Karl Towns showed enough during his jr year of hs for me to write "draft Karl Towns" at the end off all my posts. But I can say with confidence that Myles Turner is forged from the same mold as Karl Towns.

Draft night was a nightmare for me. If not Turner then I could see then picking Portis. I also liked Upshaw but not before those players, I admit that I was not privy to his specific problems, and I did not even care to look into him until we made the playoffs and Dunn, Poelt, and etc withdrew.

I also need to say that I am proud of my coach and his ability to get guys to buy-in. The problem was Ainge and keeping guys on the team that were signing somewhere else or were going to get waived. Bass did a terrific job stepping in for Sully, Jonas had 1-2 games in which he shot the hell out of the 3 and basically won the game, Gigi helped give us depth and also contributed to wins.

You've posted the same thing a million times.  Get a new thought.

exactly.  time to move on.

complain about taking Rozier over Portis since that was an available choice (and I was on record as wanting Portis) but p---ing and moaning about not tanking last year has gotten stale.

Jordan Mickey is leading the NBA in PER. He's literally twice as good as Curry.
