Moreover, I'm not so sure why you're fine with cutting into Gordon's time over Payton when Gordon's clearly the vastly better player. If AG could adequately do what Payton's role requires then I would be happy to transfer minutes. The reality of the situation does not allow that though. I'm as up in arms about Payton's nebulous play as anyone. What I said has nothing to do with Payton. AG might be a better player than Payton, but that means nothing towards the point, and certainly shows that you glossed over the original point anyway. The top 7 ish prospects (outside of Doncic) are all around 7 feet. Have your pick, they will all likely contribute more in a timely manner than any point guard in this draft. Again, more to the point than what you choose to make of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure, there was a bit about his improvement-the point of the comment was summarized nicely before and after that though. Further, the mention of Payton was only to underscore the message. The message in of itself is completely separate from Payton as a player on our team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It takes more time for a point guard to make the impact that a talented athletic 7 footer can make. This is evident every year, every draft. The counter argument revolves around mentioning generational point guards like Chris Paul and his ability to immediately contribute and applying with a broad brush to the litany of other point guards that are still working things out. Sexton/Young could very well end up better than anyone else in this draft, it will take time though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magicfan1987 266 Report post Posted December 26, 2017 Porter Jr. do we take him if he looks healthy? Porter Jr. AG and Isaac would be a long athletic front court. BUT if Isaac can't play 5 and is a 3, could the 6'10" porter play 2 guard? are all three players best suited at the 4? I think that's a very interesting question Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
