2019 Draft, Pick #30 - Kevin Porter Jr., USC

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Yesterday the coach said that Collin was not unlike Caris Levert in the type of player he is. He emphasized that Collin would only be a junior in College at this point, and he said he is working with him to develop the passing part of his game and reducing turnovers. He seemed like he thought Collin had the tools, but was more of a combo guard, which we all know. Beilein is sort of a guard whisperer. I am much more confident in Sexton and Porter addressing the holes in their games with Beilein around.

I just find it striking that both Collin and Beilein are addressing the exact issues we all have in interviews instead of Lue or Kyrie saying "just gotta play the game"

Or, 'play faster'
 
KP's game was ugly today but he is still way further ahead of where I thought he was and he flashed his in game athleticism at times
 
Sure, but it's easy to have good shot selection against that level of competition. Hopefully when KPJ can't get to the rim at will he'll do the smart thing and pass the ball, but I'm not convinced that he will.

Case in point: he naturally had fewer opportunities to get to the rim last night, but instead of adjusting by passing the ball, he adjusted by taking more difficult shots. Through 26 total minutes, he has 15 shot attempts, 3 turnovers, and just 1 assist, 3 rebounds, 0 steals+blocks. Coaching staff needs to help him realize that there's more to the game than just trying to score every time you touch the ball.
 
Will be the steal of the draft.

Won't be completely apparent this year though.

Think Boston my have gotten the steal of the draft in the second round in Carsen Edwards. Man can he hit the long 3s.
 
Guys, Brandon Clark still exists

Clarke is also a one dimensional player. Clarke is a great defender but doesn't offer much of anything on offense at this point. Clarke will block some shots. Him and JJJ will be a nightmare on defense but he's not gonna be the steal of the draft.
 
More likely he likes his game and potential

@King Stannis prefers kickers.

Sometimes I’ll ask for updates on game results when I’m driving and it’ll take him 20 minutes to get to the point because he’s giving me detailed descriptions of kicker’s balls and asses while they’re lining up to kick game winning field goals and I never even find out what happened.

I end up having to check gamecast.
 
Here’s a typical example:

Me: hey man im driving can you tell me whats happening in that ravens game

Stannis: yeah i assume youre asking bc you know its a close game and theres playoff implications for the Browns.

Me: right.

Stannis: np man. Theyre lining up for a 48 yard field goal with the wind. The kicker is on the sideline and his hair is really blowing in his face, real good looking. Little bit of a twink. Probably a 9+/10. Just from the angle I can see right now, his balls are definitely above average and hes got a really great ass. Love the way the NFL pants fit. Definitely bigger than that punkass Goff. What a bitch. Kicker is coming in now. I bet this guy benches an easy 250+. Probably smells like Cool Water. Balls looked really nice during the kick and his ass doesnt have a millimeter of cellulite.

Me: so did the kick happen or something?

Stannis: oh long time ago. He missed

Me: ok. I got into a car accident.

Harrison Butker fucks.

Very rough debut, on a positive though he had a great defensive rating. I remember he defended AG 1v1 in the paint and forced a miss.
 
I liked his defense and that wrap around pass.

His isos inside the arc with the sole intention of scoring the ball is no bueno. The difference between Doncic/Harden isos and Porters is that both of them are distributors and good 3pt shooters off the dribble and they use tht kind of gravity to create for others. Porter has a long way to go, but he can not iso with the sole intention of scoring, especially if he isn't a good 3pt shooter yet.

Need to get Clarkson off the team asap, and try to make Porter some kind of PnR BH and distributor and ball mover out of isos. He can not be the last stop even if his teammates suck.
