Love the confidence.

That's the alpha dog mentality that has him at the top of the list for me... If healthy, he's a guy who can drop 25 points in a game effortlessly.

Which is exactly what this team needs. I'm in for Porter or assuming he is healthy, but I think ATL or Memphis would take him before us.

Bagley can do the same thing, is probably the safer pick -- I could see either team taking him over Porter... And JJJ fills a huge need for ATL/MEM as well... But if both teams pass over Bagley or JJJ, then one of them should be there for us at #5.

The Ringer article on Bamba makes him look like a really good gamble. His work ethic combined with the weight he has already gained since coming out of high school is encouraging. I’ll be interested to see his speed and agility drill numbers. I’m still leaning more toward MPJ if his back is healthy.

At 33 Azibuke looks like a monster from his measurables, and I know Grayson Allen is a douche but his athleticism looks legit.

Yeah, I'm not a Grayson Allen fan AT ALL, but he did kill the combine today.
