I've probably seen 500 mocks already this season, most of them have us taking Len or Noel. But about 50 of them have Noel going #1 McLemore going #2 and Len at #3 to the wiz. The weird thing is, if this happens everyone mocks Anthony Bennett to us. Why would we pick Bennett over Porter or even Oladipo? I'm a fan of Bennett's skills but how could we possible pass on Porter?

He only worked out for the top three teams due to a promise from one of them (rumor has it the Wiz like teeray said above).  I would not be against drafting Porter if he slid to 4, but only if Bennett, Len, and Noel are gone... it would be a toss up to me on McLemore or Porter

and just a hair under 200.  mkg would have a better chance to play pf

The kid is about the same age as me, He is obvious about 6 inches taller but we have the same bodytime. IF I can put on 25 pounds of weight/muscle I know he can put on more being professionally trained and having Patrick Ewing by his side.

Otto Porter is a prototypical NBA SF. He will need to add strength/weight just to fulfill that role most effectively. He's also not "a hair under 6'10"- he's not even 6'9" in shoes. He has the potential to be a stretch 4 in certain lineups but he is never going to see extended action as an NBA PF.

Rumor on ProBasketball talk that Wiz are talking to Bulls about a trade of 3rd pick for Deng. Be funny if they traded out and Porter started dropping because he refused to work out for anyone else.

Yea, I saw that rumor too. Still wouldn't be surprise if Porter goes no1 to Cavs.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
