2018 NBA Draft - Dallas-Mavs.com Forums

Not willing to participate in the combine and not willing to give up his medicals means a hard pass for the Mavs and a lot of other teams IMO. We'll see if he eases up on that as the draft nears, but it's not worth if it he is hiding things.

Yeah, I have no interest in Porter unless the Mavs medical staff clears him. I think that's a given... But he did get his surgery in Dallas from a surgeon who works with the Cowboys, so I wonder if the Mavs already have an idea of what's up with his health. It wouldn't shock me at all to learn that he withheld his medicals so that nobody picks him before Dallas... It also wouldn't shock me to learn that his back is still messed up and he'll never be the same player again... But I'll keep projecting his upside until the docs say otherwise.

I can definitely see this being true. Wouldn't be surprised if we give/ gave him a promise and/or that he's selectively shopping his medical records around.

My feeling, based on zero actual evidence/information, is that this scenario is more wishing vs. probable. I consider it highly unlikely that this is the case.

More than likely, he is simply not in a place where he can confidently disclose.
