I like Porz talent, but physically he looks like AK. Looks like a guy who is going to be rail thin with chicken legs his entire career and is going to be soft as *** on defense when he can't block shots.
Following potential 2015 draftees
- Thread starter Dr. Jones
- Start date
According to dx:
For Beasley recorded a 9'1 standing reach at hoop summit and 8'11 at the draft combine. That's one of the biggest disparsities that I could find but I don't think it's phenomenal since there's length differences when you're up mutliple hours(It could be 1 inch from morning -> evening and another 3/4 of an inch from extra insoles in shoes and then Hoop Summit may have rounded it up(Haven't found a single quarter inch accurate measurement)
I've been pimping Chris McCullough a bit on this board. Here's what I like about McCullough:
* NBA size and measurables for the modern PF position at 6'10" 220 lbs with good length
* Very efficient movement, both running the floor and lateral movement, and good court awareness
* Great timing and instincts on both blocks and steals; quick reactions and good help defense
* Ability to finish around and above the rim, though he needs to keep working on his body and needs to get stronger
* Some fast-twitch athleticism that lets him make nuanced physical plays with sudden speed bursts
* Good shooting touch from mid-range
I think he's a guy who could rise on boards like Vonleh did last year, although there are more heralded bigs in this year's draft.

You know an extra inch every now and then might not be a bad thing
But since stitches already took interest in it. When I was a kid and I wanted to measure my height in the evening my mother would always say: Do it in the morning, you're taller then.
And apparently our spine contracts over the course of a day up to 1 inch from walking upright. Maybe that's why most players take naps before games

If we're going to draft a post player, it would be asinine to draft them based on how they would play with Rudy.
1) We're going to be an early lottery team. Draft the best talent available.
2) If the talent is similar (for post players), you realize that they'll be playing next to Favors.
3) Favors > Rudy. And I like both of them.
4) If we draft a post, it has to be somebody who can play C, because Favors can't guard centers effectively.

Well obviously, ANYONE would take Okafor, Towns or Mudiay: right now they're the consensus top-3 guys. My assumption is that we're picking lower. So it appears Porzingis might be #4 on your draft board?
