Otto Porter doesn't seem to be able to jump very high. He's surprisingly effective but I keep waiting for him to jump for any reason and he doesn't. Has anyone seen him dunk? I'm sure he can but he doesn't seem to like it.

Wrong thread. Whoops.
fwiw. Porter got in early foul trouble which is why you haven't seen much of him.
He still has 7pts, 3-3 from the field.
What about Anthony Bennett
Same for McLemore and Withey if anyone is watching Kansas. Not McLemore's best shooting game today. He's gotten blocked at least twice that I've seen. But he's got two blocks of his own. Having a little trouble dealing with all the raw athleticism of OK St.

What could Chicago realistically offer us for Vesely?
That'd be exactly the type of team that could actually develop him.

Porter, 10 points on 4 shots. I love how under control his game is. He never really seems to make bad plays. Very patient.

McLemore is heating up.

Indiana v. Michigan tonight should be good.
I pair of shoes and a couple of basketballs and they have deal. Vesely is nothing but a complete bust.Quote:

Maybe he's a bust. Maybe he isn't. Too early to make that call.Quote:

Trading Vesely for other prospects makes no sense though. I'd consolidate half of our bench for quality bench players if at all possible. Seraphin+JC+Chris Singleton should net someone with a brain, at least that's my hope.
Damn, Noel just came down really awkwardly. Knee injury for sure, hopefully not too serious.
He's walking off, which usually doesn't mean much.
Lol, he's checking back in. Sweet.
Really dude?? He was the number 6 pick in the draft two years ago, the team he is on is 11-34 terrible and he doesn't even play in games. It would be one thing if this was a playoff caliber team in meaningful games and he was a rotation player, but they aren't and he still doesn't play at all. It's not too early to call someone like that a bust.Quote:

My thoughts on Vesely is that even if he has some redeemable qualities, they will never be developed under this current regime. If you are a fan of Vesley the player, you might want to hope he gets traded so he has a chance at realizing some of his "upside".
On a sidenote, would anybody be shocked if Ted wrote "since a team is interested in Vesely, it proves he's worth keeping" in a future blog?
Spurs looking like they want to rest in the 4th quarter.
Zeller playing on ESPN, Isaiah Austin playing on ESPN2.
Zeller is making an impact early.
Nerlens finishes with 19 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists, a steal and two blocks on 7-10 shooting. Just one turnover and one personal foul. Monstrously efficient. He's the first overall pick.

A year and a half is absolutely to short a time to declare someone a bust. Especially a raw big man like Ves.Quote:

It would piss me off if we trade Ves and he ends up becoming a player for someone else. It's what the Wizards have been doing for decades. It's a big reason why the Wizards are the poster child for the NBA's third world.Quote:
