Otto also is 5th in the NBA in adjusted FG%...behind 7' dunk kings Gobert, Capela, Dwight Howard, and DeAndre Jordan. Pretty amazing.

Greg with 25 and 13 off the bench for the Bucks. Otto with 18 and 12 as Wizards beat OKC. Jeff with 13 for the Magic.

Does Ibaka trade mean more minutes for Jeff?

Porter, the third overall pick in the 2013 draft, didn’t make a huge impact in any of his first three seasons, but is now starting to fulfill everyone’s expectations. The former Georgetown Hoya is averaging 14.4 points per night in addition to 6.7 rebounds, while setting a career high in three-point shooting (45.9 percent), which also leads the league. Porter also leads the team in win shares (7.1) and Real Plus Minus (plus-3.42), an estimated on-court impact on team performance, measured in net point differential per 100 possessions, after adjusting for teammates and opponents. And of the 22 players with at least 200 spot-up shots this season, none produce more points per possession than Porter (1.41). www.washingtonpost.com/news/fancy-stats/wp/2017/02/14/john-wall-has-been-amazing-but-his-supporting-cast-has-made-wizards-elite/?utm_term=.af716bd99182

I believe we are down to 4 players left in the NBA: Roy Hibbert, Jeff Green, Otto Porter, and Greg Monroe.
That's a respectable 4, but it has to be the weakest NBA contingent (as they are currently playing) that we've had since pre-Ewing days. Otto and Greg should have quite a few more years left. Jeff seems like he should be able to stay a solid bench player for a bit. Roy worries me as his athleticism declines even further.
Leads me to 2 questions: 1) When was the last time we had this weak of a NBA contingent (I'm thinking quality and quantity)? 2) Who's going to help us turn this around? Meaning which players do we think could strengthen our NBA corps? Could Hollis Thompson, Henry Simms, Chris Wright, DSR, Josh Smith get a shot again? What are the chances Pryor, Peak, Govan, Derrickson make it (I can't see anyone else on the team having any type of shot at it)?
While winning should be the measure of any team and that's not always dependent on NBA talent (see Villanova), Gtown has always produced NBA talent when it's been at its best. I've always rooted for my hometown Lakers and whatever Gtown players were in the NBA. Would love to see that number increase again.

How many of the 'top 100' high-school prospects ever make it to the NBA.

Imho, Hibbert and Green are pretty much being phased out of the league and don't really contribute to any team wanting them. Monroe will soon follow suite because he can't stretch the floor and doesn't run the floor well either. It's basically Porter who's going to hold the mantle representing GU. In this day in age, it's all about the majority of guards and hybrid forwards who can run the floor and stretch the defense with their shooting. Govan/Peak/Derrickson/Hayes and others will perhaps contribute overseas and that's about it, hopefully they'll have the Rosetta Stone app handy

The Clippers are still kicking the tires on everything, including their pipedream of snaring Carmelo Anthony from the Kazoos without giving up any of their core four guys. They've called about almost every available small forward type, but no one is in a rush to take Jamal Crawford, Austin Rivers, and a distant first-round pick. That won't get them Wilson Chandler, and the Wiz threw their phones on the floor when the Clippers inquired about Otto Porter, per league sources. www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/18727231/zach-lowe-jimmy-butler-boston-celtics-latest-nba-trade-deadline-talk

Same detail -
The Clippers are trying to acquire a small forward without giving up one of their four core players and ESPN’s Zach Lowe reports that Austin Rivers and Jamal Crawford aren’t drawing much interest from opposing teams. The franchise called the Wizards trying to bring Otto Porter to Los Angeles, but Washington was disinterested in engaging in trade talks.
Also -
The Pelicans were widely praised for their trade for DeMarcus Cousins this week, but even though the acquisition cost for the All-NBA center wasn’t exorbitant, New Orleans’ roster looks a little unbalanced in the wake of the deal. Having sent Buddy Hield, Tyreke Evans, and Langston Galloway to Sacramento in the swap, the Pelicans will now be looking to fortify their backcourt, and will audition several free agent guards this week, per ESPN’s Marc Stein (Twitter link).
According to Stein (via Twitter), the group of guards working out for New Orleans this week includes Mario Chalmers, Hollis Thompson, Quinn Cook, and Reggie Williams. All of those players except Chalmers are currently on D-League teams, but aren’t under contract with the affiliated NBA club, making them free agents.

Fair and away the best shooter of the players listed, something New Orleans needs to give Boogie & the Brow some room to operate

Reggie used to be a good shooter too, back in the day. Oh, wait, wrong Reggie.
Hope they sign Hollis. He got the shaft in Philly.
