Player comparison posts on this board are always outrageously off and hilarious.

The Granger comparison is a good one in terms of body type and style of play. I just don't think Porter will be anywhere near as good.
i see danny green in porter.. good starter but definitely not a game changer which the cavs needs right now.. there are plenty of wings with that kind of skill set, give me a bigman instead..
with the east getting a lot bigger (vucevic, bynum, monroe, drummond, hibbert, valanciunas, henson, sanders, etc..) the cavs need to keep up.. a team with kyrie needs a bigman he can work with offensively and who can cover his defensive lapses...

If we take one of Noel, Porter, or Len with our highest 1st, what about moving up with our 2nd pick (even if it means trading Varejao to do it) to acquire another one of those 3? Noel + Len, Noel + Porter, or Len + Porter would be a helluva draft.
It's pretty hard to trade up to a top 15 pick just using picks after 15. The drop in talent is usually too high or the level of risk is too great. The usual way to get a pick above 15 is to include a pick in the 16-20 range along with a proven player, most likely taking back a bad contract. Often the team trading down already has a lot of youth. So if Speights doesn't opt out, a team like Portland might be a candidate. Something like the 12th pick for Speights + 17 +32.
But back on topic, I like Porter a lot. He's got a lot of untapped potential, plays a position of need, plays both ends of the floor, he rebounds, he shoots, he's is a good passer for his position, and is low risk of being a washout. I think he's the Cavs choice. I don't see any competition unless they win the #1 pick.
i disagree i think by NBA standards (especially compared to other SFs) Parsons is an average athlete
