2012 Orland Magic NBA draft thread ...

[Noonskadoodle]

A 345 of PJ3 BBD & D12 could be tough defensively considering PJ3 can guard the 3's. He has the length with the 7'2" wingspan to give some room, but still contest shots on the perimeter & he also gives D12 some help at protecting the rim.

Plus he creates mismatch problems at the 3 & we could go to him in the post at times. At 19 you really aren't expecting an all star caliber player but PJ3 has all the intangibles to be the steal of the draft at that spot.

So the Tweeners are falling? Terrence Jones...Tweener......Perry Jones....Tweener.......Tony Wroten...Tweener....All those guys reportedly are slipping down the board.....could be in our range but at the same time...they're slipping for a reason....

Wroten isn't a tweener, great passer.

Wroten is in the same boat Tyreke Evans was/is in......Tweener

Tyreke Evans is a ball-hogging knucklehead who doesn't know a thing about playing team basketball. Wroten has way better court vision and is pretty unselfish.

For having WAY BETTER court vision its weird he only averaged 3.7 assists & 3.8 turnovers per game while Tyreke averaged 3.9 assists & 3.6 turnovers coming out of college. Pretty similar.

WOW Damian Lillard absolutely LIT UP his Kings workout. I can honestly see them taking him & moving on from Tyreke. If we could find a way to get Tyreke while KEEPING number 19 & getting PJ3 that would be awesome /pipedream

Here is Lillards workout the guy can flat out shoot.

Ok at this point my favorites are......

1.Quincy Miller(i've said enough about him)
2.Perry Jones(if still there)
3.Marquis Teague(combine numbers impressed me)
4.Terrance Jones(Intriguing set of skills)
5.Jeff Taylor(great measurables)

Completely false. Wroten has the 4th highest shot tendency of ALL the top 60-70 draftable prospects.

The ONLY guys to look for his own shots more per minute are PG Damian Lillard, SF Harrison Barnes and SG Kevin Murphy.

per36:
Damian Lillard - 19.84 (1)
Harrison Barnes - 19.66 (2)
Kevin Murphy - 19.40 (3)
Tony Wroten - 19.13 (4)
Evan Founier - 18.30 (5)
Orlando Johnson - 18.21 (6)

For clarity sake, somebody who is widely known as being shoot-first Austin Rivers has a 15.4. That should give you an idea of how much those guys look for (and take) thier own shot.

my top 5
PJIII
Austin Rivers
M Teague
Q.Miller
Royce White

our pick must be a great ball handler, unless we want duhon and turk doing it all *shivers*

So according to them we are drafting Kendall Marshall and Tyshawn Taylor? Oh. Marshall can keep on slipping right by Orlando if the draft fell like this. Id rather take Perry Jones III, Moe Harkless or Royce White while grabbing Taylor in the 2nd.

Wroten's turnover prone and is very feast or famine at this point, he needs time to develop but those Rondo comparisons aren't for nothing. Tyreke had the same benefit of the doubt coming into the league and he turned out to be moron, I don't think Wroten is a headcase like him.

Sorry, I meant comparatively unselfish to current Tyreke.

If we could get PJ3 & Tyshawn Taylor I would be very happy. 2 players who could come in & contribute from day 1 & Tyshawn would push Duhon to the 3rd string PG IMO.

Now we just gotta figure out who will ge our starting PG haha. Maybe Raymond Felton? He is not a bad PnR player, just has to get in better shape.

[Neon1]

PJ3 sounds like he knows what he needs to work on to become better so that's a good sign.

If PJ3 was darker skinned he would resemble a young LeBron facially.
