    I don't know. If you want to see something eery, look at the nba draft net profiles for Yi and Porzingis. Athleticism equal. Nba comparison Pau. Total score 94 vs 95.

    LOL ..... well that was short and sweet. No worries. Get deadly with the short off-the-backboard J's Jahlil.

    Question for the camera person ..... WTF?? Was the camera heavy or something that that's all you could manage to shoot? I mean compared to everyone else's private workout clips coming through. I suppose it's better that way so Flip doesn't start changing his mind if we are to believe Heisler that he's decided on Towns already.

    :) Let's hope. I'm so excited about Okafor. I was thinking of all the ways we could utilize him with Randle.

    he speaks perfect English and he knows what he needs to work on. He played pg as a kid, reminds me of Anthony Davis. Let's be honest if porzingis was black born in the states he would go number 1. Yes euro players tend to be hard to read but basketball runs in his family. I don't see a bargnani or darko comparison at all. If this kid bulks up quick the way kd did then why not Draft him? He has all the skills, and wants to get better. I personally wouldn't go crazy against the fo if they Draft this kid.

    I'd take Super Mario before Kristaps. Actually, I'd probably take Henzoja over my man crush Russell.

    Is Okafor really only 6'9" in socks? That slo mo dunk he wasn't that high over the rim it seemed. How about Towns?

    Like Towns and Okafor aren't black and haven't performed at the highest level on elite college teams. Towns is a more complete package with seemingly equal shooting skills and elite proven defense, if you like what Kristaps shows one on none.

    I am just not buying any of the rumors. We will take Okafor. The top 3 will be Towns, Okafor and Russell. Mudiay probably goes third but cod flip with Russell. I could see the Magic biting on Kristaps. Can't see him going before either of the guards.

    I think Hinkie is taking Kristaps. Russell goes to NY. Just speculation...
