I like the sound of Portis but not wild about drafting another PF after Sully and Olynyk.

I would want one of the other traded this summer if drafting Portis.

I like Portis, maybe it's worth the risk to trade Sully (maybe with a pick for Middleton) and get Portis at #16.
I could live with that.

Portis to me looks like a future 3rd big, coming off the bench and will give you excellent production. He can average 18 minutes per game and maybe give you 8-10 points, 5-6 rebounds and just give constant energy.

He seems to be value pick for us at 16. But we'd have to trade either KO or Sully for me to be high on this pick, only because I want to see Portis get his playing time. So I'm on board in drafting him, as long as we trade one PF so he'll have a spot.

I agree about Portis looking like a probable 3rd big.  Reminds me of guys like Taj Gibson, Terrence Jones, Andray Blatche, Drew Gooden.

Could do much worse with a mid-1st pick, but wouldn't really change things much for this team.

His jump-shot looks impressive. I wonder if he could be a David West like PF.

He doesn't seem physically imposing enough to become a David West type player.
