    Under Disappointments:

    "Otto Porter, Washington Wizards: I tried to avoid putting rookies on this list because I think it's mostly unfair to expect them to play a certain way in such a potentially chaotic environment that won't often mirror what they're doing at the NBA level. Porter was disappointing in the sense that he just never seemed to move the needle at all when he was on the court. His game was very subdued and pretty boring overall. It's likely he's just the type of player who can complement good players nicely but doesn't lift the level of fringe guys."

    ^
    I thought this was a interesting for two reasons. I agree with what he says about how Summer league won't often mirror what they're doing at the NBA level. (CJ is a good example)

    and his comments about Porter are exactly what I thought when I watched him last year in college.

    What is good though? Multiple All-Star? I can see him sneaking in as a 1 time All-Star like Jamaal Maglorie, Jameer Nelson, etc. Good and not a horrible baseline for a #3 pick but you are hoping for more when picking that high.

    A couple AS appearances. Maybe more. 1 is good enough in a shitty draft like this years. I think he's the highest 'ceiling' guy in this draft.

    I would love to hear that brother talk smack on the court ........ He'd sound like Col. Clink and Sgt. Schultz!

    This is the scene at the Drew League RIGHT NOW:

    That's Demar Derozan at the line, and Metta World Peace and Kevin Durant with their backs to us.
