For anyone who hasn't been watching, this Portis kid can play.

I love me some summer league ball Bobby Portis.

He really could be good and a missing ingredient.

Yup. Detroit Pistons Head Coach Stan Van Gundy said: “He’s one of the true inside-outside bigs you can get. He’s good on the block but he can step out and shoot the ball with range. You don’t see much of that. There’s very few of those guys. Kevin Love can go down on the block and get something done and step out onto the perimeter. But man, you’re talking a handful of guys. Chris Bosh, there’s just not many guys who have that and Bobby does.”

I'm interested to see how Hoiberg is going to use him. I actually think he may try and use him as stretch five in order to maximize the matchup. He appears to be a steal. I want to see him during the regular season. He is really going to have to fight for minutes due to the log jam at the 4 and 5, but he has game. No doubt about it.

@ all the people picking the Thunder. Did they all stop watching the NBA after the 2012 Finals?

I'm kind of wondering about that one & the Durant love for MVP myself. Relying on a seven footer to comeback from the injuries he suffered and to play at championship/MVP level over an 82 game season seems overly optimistic.

I love the Bulls pick. Obviously health is key.

Or, maybe Billy Donovan is wowing everybody in his press conferences?

I think most "experts" expect Golden State to take step back and for San Antonio to have some rotation issues with Aldrige being added to the mix. Maybe that explains the OK City love.

Only teams with shit coaching would have a tough time adding LaMarcus Aldridge to any rotation. I think GS and SA are clearly still the teams to beat.

I think this is the year LeBron breaks down body-wise.

Taking anti-inflamatory shots in mid-October is definitely a thing. Their spin about it being "preventative" was laughable.

I'm interested to see OKC's offense under Donovan. Brooks ran an offense that was extremely predictable. It was isolation intensive. Simply give it to Durant or Westbrook and watch them go. It was extremely perimeter oriented. Kanter can score on the block. Waiters's game is entirely isolationist too. Donovan is going to have reign in Westbrook and Durant if they are going to win anything. They don't trust their teammates enough. That was always their biggest problem in my book.

Do you think Donovan brings the "college" mentality along? He's a Pitino disciple no? Rick had the Celtics running a full court press night in and night out for about half a year. Then again, he was doomed and should've resigned the night they lost the lottery and the right to select Duncan.

Never bought in to GS
