Michael Porter is out for the season. This gives us hope that he might fall to us even if we pick out of the top 3...

Ha... posted at the same time. I think he falls to 5-6 unless Bamba, Ayton, or Bagley disappoint. Could see the kings going Miles Bridges... just seems like a Kings type of pick.

At very least it may open up a potential trade to move to #4 to get him.

I hope so. He's one of my can't miss prospects in this draft. I hope the risk is too much for 4 teams when they have comparable talent with Doncic, Bagley, Ayton, Bamba and we should really make a push to be the 5th.
 
You think he still comes out? The thing that gives people pause is that he's 19 and already having back surgery. It could become a medical red flag that drops him several spots. Not as serious as Harry Giles, obviously, but a bit similar. Maybe more like Embiid's situation.

Even more likely... he will be a top 10 pick no matter what. Stay a year and work with less competent training and have issues then maybe people say he's just completely broken.

He comes out 100%. I don't think this is in the same universe as Giles' injury. Giles had multiple knee injuries and didn't look great when he played. Porter cannot risk re-injury/poor performance after surgery. I think he gets drafted in the top 5 still... similar to Embiid.

Sam Vecenie brought up an interesting scenario... he can keep teams from seeing his medicals. I think that prospects and agents would send their kids our way but maybe he won't send medicals to the Kings, Bulls, or Cavs... would guess the Mavs and Hawks would get the medicals.

Yeah, I read that. That's similar situation with what Embiid did. He didn't give his medicals to Philly AFAIK. They still drafted him. But it is something that could happen and something that could affect the decisions of teams.

I think the Bulls and Kings would have a real problem if his reps didn't send the medicals and if I was his reps I wouldn't want him there. Bulls have Lauri anyway so it's not the best fit anyway.
