Not sure, but I’m starting to think Porter gives you more than McLemore does.

I thought about George, but he’s kind of a borderline All Star. Steph Curry… yeah, ok, he qualifies.

I’d call Paul George and Steph Curry spectacular. But I guess that’s an opinion. Drummond and a draft pick could each be spectacular. It would take some luck to get to even second tier contention, but, with internal development from the young guys, a good pick, and a solid free agent signing, the Pistons could get there. And then it will just require good timing to be on the upswing when the Heat are on the downswing.

They both fill a need. It comes down to guessing which will have the better career.

Also, I’m leaning towards Porter as the #1 pick if the Pistons win the lotto. I know Chad Ford has them taking McLemore over Porter, but I think Porter is the most complete player in the draft AND he fills a position of need.

Right, set Knight up to fail. Good move.

I’m not saying there is no chance another team would start Knight, but what team do you think he’d be a starter on? Not counting teams that the starter is injured (Chicago, Boston, Cleveland). That leaves maybes in Dallas, Charlotte, Miami, and Orlando.

I wouldn’t take a much lower rated player because of position but the ratings this year are varied. Oladipo is top 5 for some scouts and 10+ for others (just an example) So Burke might not be that far from the top guys in terms of worth we will have to wait for tournament performance and team workouts before we can be sure who holds their current rating.

But I would move Knight back to the PG position.

I would draft Victor Oladipo, I love explosive athletes like him.
