Would like us to go with a big man again but tbh whoever is projected to be the next big thing.

I honestly don't care

Who ever will be a Superstar for this team for the future.

I think after that pick in the incoming years you draft more with more thought on position.

Well you could go PG, if you don't think Moore can do it. Or you can go center if Vuvecic is not capable or moved. All other positions have nice young core.


PG Moore
SG Afflalo
SF Harkless
PF Nicholson
C Vuvecic

If you go Center, who do you like more Noel or Zeller? If you go PG, Kabongo or Ian Miller.

Our pick will be top 8, so you obviously go with the best player, no matter the position. This team has no all stars, no position is taken.

For me it's PG all the way. Ish is definitely not the answer and nelson god bless his heart but he seems like he gets injured every year man and he ain't getting any younger. Moore isn't a PG at the end of the day so to me there is a spot wide open for our PG of the future plus there is no bigs in this upcoming draft that intrigues me at all so i'm keeping my eye on the PG's in this NCAA season. Got my eye on Lorenzo Brown and a few others

Draft a PG and have Nelson groom him until it's his time to take over and then Nelson can transition to the bench that is if he's still here. If our pick is top 3 then we should go BPA but any lower than that i think we should consider needs a bit more.

In my opinion we don't need to worry about the Center position because i don't think any Big in this years draft is as valuable as Vucevic could end up being. Nicholson is in my opinion the real deal at PF so all he needs is time to get better so no need there at PF. Harkless has a lot riding on him so i doubt we get another SF prospect. Afflalo is going to be here for a while at SG so to me all there's left is PG

Why would you draft a pg when it's the deepest position in the league I would honestly draft Noel even though I'm not that high on him and hope we get wiggins next year

NBA is full of power forwards, but quality centers are in short supply. Moreover this team is in trouble with rebounding. Too early to talk but getting a quality center in next years draft would be fantastic.

The ranking of the prospects may change throughout the year. Last year Anthony Davis wasnt considered the best player until he proved it during the season at Kentucky.

No one''s position on the team is safe right now, so I think we take the best player regardless.

To early to tell
we'll probably trade for another first by the TDL.

Until I see someone better, Shabazz will remain no.1 but I like James McAdoo alot, and Cody Zeller is NOT a "white stiff" he's actually very athletic for his size.

I'm hoping Noel shows alot of improvement, or he's Thabeet 2.0

Wanna see more Harrow, CJ McCollum could be the Lilliard of the draft

take best available player. it will be the following draft where we have a chance at a top tier talent, as it looks now ther are no superstar players in this draft unless someone blows up during the NCAA season

Nothing says "we suck" like a draft thread 6 games into the season. :)

NBAdraf.net has a story on potential PGs.
2013 NBA Draft: Top 10 Point Guard Prospects

Orlando looks to draft from 7-10, and that is quite above the depth expected for any PG or combo guard. The coming draft is seen as weak at the PG/combo-guard level.

Don't know where this is coming from. He was the projected #1 pick since the McDonalds All American game in high school, no one ever wavered on that.

BPA. Or if Orlando's pick is really high, tempt other teams with a Chris Webber for Penny+picks type of draft day trade.

If we were to select by position, I'd go for a defensive center. Slide Vucevic to 4 and run twin towers. Wouldn't be at the level of Duncan/Robinson or Sampson/Olajuwan, but it'd be an interesting setup to run.
