There is no better fit in this year's NBA draft for the Wizards than Otto Porter. Don't care where we pick, he needs to be our guy.

The number one pick will largely depend on who gets the pick.
A team like the Cavs should probably draft Noel at number one. If all goes well, Noel will be back on the court by the end of this year or beginning of next year. Of course, there's still a recovery time after his initial return.
I don't see the Cavs drafting Noel after the injury
They're eying Porter as well. Shabazz has always been the guy tho, but with the Cavs winning some games who knows where they end up drafting.
It's of my opinion if a superstar player isn't available (which this draft doesn't have), go with the defensive anchor. Noel projects to be that. Varejao is good, but injury prone, Speights is useful, but a free agent after next summer and Zeller shouldn't be anything more than a backup. The Cavs give up nearly 107 points per 100 possessions. :xThe number one pick will largely depend on who gets the pick.

is he REALLY that much better than Tristan Thompson?
11 ppg and 9 Rpg is what Thompson is averaging this year, I'm not sure how much more I would expect out of Noel
edit - Im not saying Noel isn't a better player, but the production would have to be a HUGE improvement for the Cavs to draft him as a replacement, when they have so many other needs to fill. That SF spot is a glaring hole, and I'm not completely sold on Noel playing center at the next level
Hope Orlando doesn't get the #1 pick, so they can pick up Marcus Smart.
a 3rd option on a good team is probably his ceiling.I just hope people don't get their expectations too high for Otto. Awesome, awesome college player but I worry about him creating his own shot and defending when he's isolated against NBA wings. But he works his *** off and just knows how to play, always in the right spots and his instincts on defense will help make up for poor lateral quickness. Best thing for him going forward is he took one off-season and went from a non-existent 3pt shooter to being one of the best in the country. IMO, very good piece to a puzzle but not a major building block.
^He won't fall to 12.

considering he can still be the no.1 overall.. he has to come out, right?Nerlens is having his surgery this week.
Is Marcus Smart better than Trey Burke at the next level?
