Otto Porter and Shabazz Muhammed...

[JtotheIzzo]

...are having shittier years than Anthony Bennett. Didn't think that was possible...lawdy LAWD!

[andremiller07]

Most the lottery picks are struggling or injured

Otto: injured
Mclemore: no confidents
Shabazz: no playing time
Bennett: no playing time/injury/overweight
Noel: injured
Len: injured
McCollum: injured
Kelly O: injured
Zeller: yawn
Burke: was injured playing so so now

Other than Victor/MCW it's pretty slim picking's atm

God what a SHIT year, Olynyk is back though, and putting up respectable stats.

Otto Porter will be a good NBA pro, Cleveland was beyond stupid for choosing Bennett over him.

Good height, length, athleticism. Good defense, right mindset, decent jumpshot.

TBH Cleveland fans should seriously thx about killing themselves Cleveland is a shithole 4 sports

[senelcoolidge]

What I've seen of Porter so far is not good at all. He needs to get stronger. His shot is not falling. He looks lost on defense.

[midatlantic09]

shabazz just isn't that good. dude has no jumper, shakey handles, and only slightly above average athleticism (when compared to other nba players).

that said, he'll probably be out of the league in 4.

[tomtucker]

but............. oladipo is playing great for the magic.............:applause:

They also said that about Wesley Johnson:oldlol:

Shabazz just needs to get out of minny.. Rotting on the bench

But yeah what a shitty draft class:facepalm

With his attitude issue it wont be long before he gets signed somehwere in Europe.

[HylianNightmare]

i forgot otto porter existed.

tbh i haven't been to impressed with oladipo, ya his numbers look alright but all ot of his assists are really nothing to write home about, i don't see the natural PG ability in him yet and i have watched him struggle to score allot, he goes to the line often and shoots a decent clip from there but he really struggles to score unless it's spotting up or a easy layup/dunk

[DukeDelonte13]

This really could be one of the worst draft classes ever. I'm not upset at all about the cavs taking Bennett over Porter and Len. Dipo maybe.. but too early to tell. Same obviously goes for Noel. Around draft time they were saying he'd be ready to go by the new year. I hope that nonsense about sitting him the entire season isn't true.

Noel should spend some time and learn how Bennett rehabs so he can add some much needed bulk :oldlol:

[alenleomessi]

this draft class is really really really really.. really horrific

[kidd2dwill]

so happy that we got mason plumlee. even he can be candidate for ROY, thats how awful this draft has been.

[mattvNJ]

Porters hurt and has played like what four games in total? and im not sure if he even had a preseason before injury... I think hell be a very solid pro, especially defensively. You cant just assume a guy will make a transition a little past a quarter into the season. Give him time, Bennet, and some other picks I do not like at all. Bennet is a bum... havent seen much of Shabazz

[NattyPButter]

stupid to base the draft class off of a couple of months playing and say it was weak. How about waiting a couple years then judge. 2011 draft class was also called weak and now look at most of the players.

top 10 that year is pretty shitty

1 Kyrie Irving
2 Derrick Williams
3 Enes Kanter
4 Tristan Thompson
5 Jonas Valančiūnas
6 Jan Vesel

I swear to God I forgot that Shabazz exists. Damn.

Yikes, that is a pretty crap top 10. about 3 above average starters on there at most.


Well you got one allstar in Kyrie

Enes is still young and has shown a lot of potential, so has Tristan and J-Val.

I think Kemba can be an allstar on a winning team.

[Nick Young]

shabazz just isn't that good. dude has no jumper, shakey handles, and only slightly above average athleticism (when compared to other nba players).

Shabazz lied about his age and was one year older then everyone thought he was, his age was the only reason he was able to dominate in high school

[imdaman99]

I think the 2 Michigan kids will be alright. Burke is back and not doing bad. Hardaway Jr was a steal :rockon:

That just means the Knicks will trade him soon :facepalm

Well he's not a PG, I still don't know why we're insisting on playing him at the 1.

Westbrook plays PG but he's always been an SG, he's an awesome PG but he's not a good floor general. I don't think it's in Oladipo to play the position, shakey handles too.

Shane Larkin is doing alright for the Mavs. Definitely up and down but with no preseason or summer league he is starting to find something.

And the Greek kid from Milwaukee looks like a player. Will take him a couple of years to develop, but (IMO) he looks like the steal of the draft.

I remember a lot of people were saying that this year was supposed to be a great draft. :roll:

Uh everyone said it was going to be the worst draft of the modern era, and so far everyone was right...

:biggums:

Everyone said it was a bad draft, there wasn't even a consensus top 1,2 or anything

funny thing about it is that the rockets and bucks management were the only teams checking for the greek/african god.

biggest thing Oladipo and Westbrook have in common is their bball IQ's. i don't think Oladipo will ever get much IQ either just like Westbrook. he's so dumb with running point.

[RedBlackAttack]

I keep hearing about Bennett looking much better in practice. It hasn't resulted in much more playing time, though.

I will say this... He is making shots occasionally now. His minutes are just so limited, though, it's impossible to evaluate him.

This draft class is looking beyond atrocious atm.
