In my opinion, WALL isn't overrated. Know who is? Beal. Beal, at the age of 23, averaged 23PTS per game in the regular season and 25pts per game in the playoffs. He's the teams best defender and was a 40% 3pt shooter and 82% FT shooter (should be better), I disagree that Beal is overrated. Beal has the most potential of any current Wizards player. Beal team's best defender lol. Even if he is, that's not saying much on that team.

Based on your basic advanced stats defensive ratings, the main rotations goes in this order: Otto, Gortat, Morris, Wall, Oubre, Beal, Bogdanovic. None of them are elite defenders. For Defensive Win shares it goes: Porter, Wall, Gortat, Morris, Beal, Oubre.

Don't know if it is somewhere else on HT, but ESPN just published their rankings of the Top 100 NBA players. Our boy Otto came in at #42,,not too shabby in my opinion. Greg was #82. I think in a different era of NBA that featured more traditional bigs , he'd be a Top 40 guy.

I think in a different era of NBA that featured more traditional bigs , he'd be a Top 40 guy. I did not realize that Greg did not start a single game last year. It's an interesting conversation-maker, and is supposed to be predictive of the coming season. There are guys on the list who haven't played a game in the NBA (e.g., Dennis Smith Jr., #75), so the rankings are pretty subjective.

Bram Weinstein interviewed Otto Porter for Wizards Media Day today. In addition to discussing his role this year and team's prospects, he talked about the NFL protests this weekend and Ewing as head coach (albeit very briefly). Follow this link for podcast: www.espn980.com/audio-vault/

Unless I missed something, He's not on anyone's roster. Signed a 1-yr 5 million dollar deal with Charlotte (Ewing) and was traded to the Nuggets mid-season. In Denver, played in 6 games and averaged 2 mpg. Ouch!

Yeah, I know. Just wondering if someone needing "rim protection" will decide he is worth a shot. Google basically has no news whatsoever about him, and his twitter account has been silent, too. Andrew Bogut found a job, maybe Roy has some value, too?

I think there are a combination of factors with Roy Hibbert. First, and most importantly, he's declined substantially over the last few years, which makes him significantly less valuable to an NBA franchise. Second, he better fits the mold of an NBA era that does not exist anymore, with an increasing focus on guys who can shoot threes, and going smaller generally. If this was 1985, he'd probably have a place in the NBA righ tnow.
Still, he had a decently long career. He probably could play in Europe if he wanted to, but he may not want to do that given the much lower salaries.
