I don't really have an order on your list, but I would draft all of those guys top 3. I don't think we could go wrong with any of those guys. They all fill a need for us. I'll leave it to Rob and his crew to pick their favorite from that crop.

However, my ideal draft day would be to come away with a PG and a defensive PF to complement Vucevic.



I would take out McLemore & put Willie Cauley-Stein in there. I just love his potential & I think he may just have the most "potential" in this entire draft.

Although it looks like he may be heading back:

Kentucky Wildcats guard Archie Goodwin, forward Alex Poythress and center Willie Cauley-Stein all said they would return to Kentucky, which would give the Wildcats a very deep and experienced team coming back in 2013-14. Injured center Nerlens Noel is expected to go in the top couple of picks in the draft, but has yet to announce his plans....

Next Year Kentucky is gonna be ridiculous..

PG-Andrew Harrison/Ryan Harrow
SG-Archie Goodwin/Aaron Harrison
SF-Alex Poythress/James Young
PF-Julius Randle/Kyle Wiltjer
C- Willie Cauley-Stein/Dakari Johnson

OH......MY......GOODNESS

No idea why all of them players want to be on the same team, but John Cal has no excuse if he is not holding up the trophy at the end of the year.

And still in the running for Andrew Wiggins. I don't think he goes there, but I also thought Randle was a lock for KU. I wouldn't put anything past Calipari.

Brandon Paul looks skilled as all HELL. Projected 2nd rounder? He can only blame himself, If he hadn't been chucking up 7 threes a game for the last two years, maybe somebody would have known he had this level of shot creation.
A smart coach once said, "Potential just means you're not good enough yet." Playing on potential is like living on air: It's essential, but if thats all you have, you're eventually going to starve.

Ive been saying all year I'd like to take a look at Paul in the second he can do everything well on an nba level. His efficiency was kinda bad in college because he was the sole #1 guy in a tough conference but **** as an illinois fan this one stings that call hurt

Yea that call was rough.

I honestly think Paul may be a first rounder. Especially with 3 automatic first rounders already going back to school in Kentucky, 3 spots open up.

Return to Orlando Magic
