I listened to Ford podcast too. He seemed awfully certain, kind of implied inside knowledge, that we will take Porter almost no matter what (the context was even over Noel who they had spent five minutes saying he's the obvious almost-consensus #1 pick). So...that's a pretty big claim.
I hear the Granger comparison and am seriously underwhelmed. I wouldn't automatically sign up for that for a high lottery pick. Granger is overrated. His advanced stats for his entire career say that he's a slightly above average player. Never, ever more than that, not even for one season. His team is actually better with him injured and out.
In other words: he's a quality starter and nothing more. That makes him a 4th or 5th best player on a contending team. As I've said elsewhere, I'd take quality starter from this draft -- admittedly we could do worse especially in this draft -- but that hardly lights me on fire.
