Nothing beats Michael Porter Jr at Mizzou, where he played all of about 5-6 games due to a back injury yet became a lottery pick in the NBA Draft.Everythingsducky wrote:Could be the shortest college career ever for a one and done.

The sad part is, IMHO, the kid is nowhere near ready to go one on one with the big boys in the league. Best possible thing for him would be another year in college,weights and conditioning and most of all experience.Everythingsducky wrote:Could be the shortest college career ever for a one and done.

I think he is ready right now. I agree with you, that he is going to have some issues and will probably get abused a llittle on defense and rebounding because he is rail thin, but he is a matchup nightmare when he is on offense.nogerO wrote:The sad part is, IMHO, the kid is nowhere near ready to go one on one with the big boys in the league.

I'd say at this point, I don't think Lou King is a surefire one-and-done.

College basketball "experience" is a joke compared to professional basketball training.

Re: Bol Bol in walking boot
I don't agree, being a benchwarmer in the NBA isn't that helpful. If you're actually getting coached up and playing minutes in the NBA, sure, better to be there than in college, but if you're riding the pine? Much better to have someone like Altman actually paying attention to you.Boom wrote:Agreed.northbeachsf wrote:I think he is ready right now.

Not really. He would be getting extremely valuable professional minutes. Plus training full time and making money. Look at how much Collins from the Blazers has improved in one year.Tray Dub wrote:I don't agree, being a benchwarmer in the NBA isn't that helpful.

Going to stand by my original thought, the big dudes would beat him down bad real quick. He wouldn’t get but a few minutes a game and what would it do to his confidence?Phenom wrote:Not really.
