2024 Draft Prospects Orlando Magic Should Get

[RookieStar]

How did our 2nd round pick get forfeited? looked on NBAdraftnet and it says its forfeited

It's probably just the best way they knew to put it, since they know we're trading it for cash considerations.

For real though, good looking out. I have no idea and a quick google search didn't yield anything, either. Previous second round pick forfeitures were usually related to tampering. But who the hell would we even have tampered with? Joe Ingles?

You sure that is us? Im looking at tankathon and the SRP forfeitures isnt us.

Then again, with where we are right now, i too am in the camp to tamper as long as wr get our FA target lol

Yeah I just ran a 2-round mock simulation and it had us picking at 47, at least.

Ended up with Jalen Carter in the first and Tristan Da Silva in the second I'd do bad, bad things for that to be the actual outcome. But then again we're not using that second round pick in a million years so better not get too attached to it, anyway.

Ron Holland and Reed Sheppard are intriguing as well as Ulrich Chomche!

I wonder if Anthony Parker would cash in The Wagner brothers to avoid paying them more money this summer?

One has team option and the other is extension eligible but won't kick in on a team payroll until next season!

Is there a Paolo Banchero as a point or shooting guard in this draft that we can pick up at 18?

That’s a high bar imo, the closest thing to finding a Giannis at 18 might be Terrence Shannon…obviously, off-court concerns are potentially huge (or may go away as False claims- idk)…he’s built like Anthony Edwards and really isn’t lacking in any skill area or competitive fire. He’d be a LOT higher if not for his trial…of course that’s a good reason to drop. His age is a mi us to some, but I prefer a more physically mature, ready to contribute guy now…he’d jump right over our younger prospects, AB & Jett, in the pecking order. He might also be a Fran Vasquez pick…but, if you’re talking upside, he’s my guy at 18. I certainly reserve the right to dump this, depending on how his legal troubles are progressing. He may go to jail or he may have all charges dropped…I have no idea of the outcome.

So you are saying number 18 rookie in a weak draft would jump right over number 6 and 11 sophomore's in a strong draft? You sure like some Terrence Shannon

The question was "who could?", not would...or, thats how i read it. not a bet i'd make- just a high-upside long shot

He's also older by quite a bit and much more physically developed...and, let's face it, our two rooks have led sheltered NBA lives so far (for better or worse-I don't know) but they've been in bubble wrap for the most part.

Although he has some clear strengths i will give you that. Personally i prefer someone younger like Furphy or more offense oriented like Tyson.

I really hope we don’t draft another guard.

The history of guys this size ending up really good is not all that great.

I forgot where I read it but someone said that Ware hates basketball. I guess he is just one of those dudes that does it cuz it pays his bills?

Feel like that's a bit unfair to label on college guys that aren't making money from it lol.. people were trying to say the same about Suggs because he played football. You could say the same about Jokic tbh...

As long as there is incentive to get better because of whatever motive you have, to me, it doesn't matter.

Well im just afraid he is gonna be like the MIL big man who prefered to smoke weed rather than play. Or be like Bynum Bamba etc who are just big but not really wantong to play ball. Once they get the money, they just want to go through the motions.

In those cases there are smoking guns though, I think Bamba just is uncoordinated and too big or else theoretically you can argue that everyone who failed to become who people thought they were are NBA busts, and that would probably be most of the league because you only have a certain percent of starters/all-stars.

But is there a specific incident of this player doing something that matches this opinion or statement, or is this some random reddit user, where if so, who cares?
