He's gone.
Trey Burke has been looking more like DJ Augustin than Chris Paul the past 2 months of the season.
This 100%. He can clearly ball out but at times he is very meh

Don't think Vic is top 3 in any draft but he made a pretty good point with the MKG comparison. He's the SG version of him...but everyone had no problems saying MKG was a top 3 pick.
Which is why I said the "guard" version.MKG is 6-8 and he did all of this a the age of 18 can play and gaurd more positions, Olidipo is 2 years older.
Olapido is more Michael Jordan than MKG
I think Porter's not the elite athlete that MKG is, but more polished shooting the ball.Does Otto Porter have a higher NBA upside than MKG?
Which is why I said the "guard" version.
At the end of the day, Vic is optimal size for a 2 and MKG is optimal size for a 3. I'm guessing you're rounding their ages off or something but I don't think being born in May of 92 and September of 93 is a big difference but...ok.
Maybe MKG is capable of "playing and guarding" more positions but he hasn't this year. He's been almost exclusively plugged in at the 3 spot. Maybe as his shooting improves he can slide down to the 2 and because the PF is virtually obsolete in the NBA...he can play the 4 I guess.
They're both superior athletes who are capable of being elite defenders at the pro level and who CAN be scorers if they continue to develop. Again...I really don't see the difference as far as what they can do right now.
Where does someone like Nate Wolters go in the draft? Early second? Sleeper pick in the 1st? He's one of the players I'm hoping the Knicks are interested in.
I want to call him Luol more than Porter.Don't really see any Tyshaun in Porter
Norvel Pelle, top center in ’11 class, to enter NBA Draft

Norvel Pelle’s collegiate career is over after two commitments and zero games played.
The no. 1 center in the 2011 high school class will enter the 2013 NBA Draft, according to Yahoo! Sports Marc J. Spears. Pelle committed to St. John’s after the 2011 season, but due to a nomadic high school career, he wasn’t cleared to play by the NCAA. He eventually committed to Iona for this season, but never made it on campus and wasn’t listed on the team’s official roster online.
The 6-11 Pelle spent last season at L.A. City Prep before committing to the Gaels. He’s originally from Compton, Calif.
We’ve seen these kinds of cases before. The more Pelle bounced around, the more paperwork he accumulated and eyebrows he raised. Especially those of the NCAA.
He was obviously a legitimate high-major recruit, with interests from San Diego State, Iowa State and others in his recruitment, but it’s hard to qualify when a player plays at as many schools as he has prep eligibilty for.
He’s a wiry body at around 210 pounds, but obviously he has the height. A team might take a shot on him if they really want to take on a project.
But this had to be a second option. Pelle and Iona coach Tim Cluess both would’ve been well served to have him for next season, had he been eligible. Hard to imagine, judging by the move, that he ever would’ve been, though.
