    He's a better shooting Bargs, basically
    The reports are he needs to put on some bulk but has excellent athleticism and good instincts on blocking shots. Ibaka was not a great defensive player when he first came into the league either until he put on some muscle

    Good comp....comparing a low post 4 to a stretch 4 who weights 90 pounds and doesn't enter the paint.
    The Atlanta Braves signed Nick Markakis for 4/45 - Never forget 12/3/2014

    So if Ibaka did it, this guy should be able to?

    Thats not what I'm saying at all.

    I'm just saying to knock a kid because he isn't big enough to defend in the post is silly.

    I think the point is to take some Euro flier on a guy over someone like Russel, who will step in day 1 and be a very good player is probably going to end up looking dumb. Russell is the best passer in the draft and can shoot and get to the hole.

    For the next three years I think its fairly certain that Russell will be more valueable than Porzingis. But, if a team drafting in the top 3 is trying to win in the next three years then that franchise is pretty stupid.

    I didn't say they should care about the next 3 years....there is a great chance the Euro never does a thing in the NBA.

    I don't know how to quantify what his chances are as you and I have never seenhim play. All I know is that the NBA scouts that have seen him have said he has the goods.

    Woj said this about Love.

    Adrian Wojnarowski ‏ @ WojYahooNBA
    Cleveland remains the frontrunner to sign Love to a five-year, $100M-plus extension, but Love could be willing to hear out Celtics, Lakers.

    Supposedly SA called OKC about the 14th pick, i'd take Splitter or Diaw in a second, let Kanter walk.

    Philly is dumb if they dont take Russell if he's there.

    BPA, and fills a massive need for them.

    Lamb traded, not surprising.

    They've been shopping him, PJ3, and Novak.

    Waste of roster spots.

    They didnt get Barnes but i'd rather have that than what they did get.

    LMA is going to SA or Dal if he leaves.

    Portland is gonna look completely different when they tip next season. Vonleh needs some work still, but has the tools to be successful. Never thought he should have left Indiana after only one season. Plus Gerald Henderson makes this an even better deal.
