2nd round was every bodies goal going into the season

That's why I'm not pressed about our situation. We've clearly already improved since last season and we're poised to get further in the playoffs than we've been in a while.

I'm guessing Ainge is gonna wait for this off season or upcoming draft night to make trades.

With that said, fukk Ainge for not getting Noel.

Simmons team wasn't nearly this bad even in the SEC, and he beat Kentucky. Washington hasn't even won a game this month.

Smh...

But that's why im kind of leaning toward smith over fultz. Fultz seems like he mentally checks out after awhile but smith is trying to impose his will on the game and grind out the w.

Fultz has a better j so i expect him to get drafted ahead of smith tho

If he's as good as everyone says he is he's supposed to reverse the fortune. I guarantee you Michael Porter won't lose as many games there next year.

As has been said, Porter is going to have a much better team next year with Davis/Nowell and Blake Harris.

Michael Porter might not even be a top-5 draft pick next year either, doesn't matter if he wins more games than Fultz did at Washington.

Do you watch either play? It's almost damn near the opposite. They both check out at times but Fultz goes harder trying to win.

Fultz is an elite athlete though, not his fault Romar can't put talent around his 4 & 5* guys :what:

Just stop it. No he ain't. I've seen enough of that kid. He's nothing special. Average athlete at best. Average size. Average build. Average skills.

Reminds me of Eric Gordon more than anyone else.

There is a reason he wasn't even a top 5 player in his high school class.

Putting up empty stats in college does nothing for me.

I mustve caught the wrong games. I saw like 2 games where fultz was just chillin out there, settling for the j or just flat out passing the rock. And it seems like every time i see smith hes forcing the issue.

:yeshrug: itll be an interesting draft for sure

Porter will go top 5 even if he's overhyped just by default

Next years class outside of the top few guys (who might not be that good) is looking hideous

Crazy. Michael Porter is more of a sure shot in my mind than Fultz.
