While I agree with the sentiment, we're talking potential since we don't really have an established star.. I'm curious as to who your 2 picks are..

Id go with oladipo and tobias since theyre our two most dynamic and best video game players.

I would go with Elfrid Payton and Aaron Gordon. It's our dynamic duo of Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp!

Payton, Gordon and Oladipo are Magic's cornerstones for the years to come. :lol:

For NBA Jam, a team should have a shooter and a rebounder. I would go with Harris and Vučević. For the actual Magic, it kind of must be Oladipo and Vučević.

Vuc because you've got to have a big man and Vic for obvious reasons.

I'm not ready to dub any of these guys "build around" worthy, but if I had to pick 2 it would be Dipo/Harris (I won't include any rookies for obvious reasons).

I'm still very much in "lets wait and see" mode with our roster.

Obvious choices: Vic/Vuc and Payton/Gordon

But since this is not nba jam I'll mix it with Payton/Dipo

If about 15 months ago I said our 2013 pick would be a bigger star than our 2014 pick, people would have thought I was mad.

And its because of this flawed logic that I choose Payton and Gordon :)

I think Oladipo has to be one of them. He still has a lot of potential but has already shown a lot as well. He can be one of the top ten SGs in this league as I think that is where he will get most of his time going forward. As for who is the second I can't argue with any of Harris, Vuc, Gordon or Payton. I would go with Vuc though for now. I think Vuc has shown more than Harris has so far and I think the potential to get better is about the same for both. I also don't think that we will see that much of a big improvement from thee guys. For Gordon and Payton it is more about potential but thy both have considerable potential to be better than Harris and possibly Vuc a well.

So I would say Vuc is my first choice after Oladipo. Payton would be next choice after Vuc with Gordon third and Harris fourth. I am going with Payton before Gordon because of the position(as I believe PG is the more premium position) and he is further along tan Gordon. But still neither of these guys have shown that they are better than Harris so this is purely based on potential which doesn't mean a whole lot. So we shall see as right now there are more questions than answers right now with our team.

^^ This right here.

The answer is clearly Victor Oladipo and a player not yet on the roster.

Yes it has become clear that Aaron Gordon and Elfrid Payton do not have star potential. :crazy:

Interesting, why Gordon?


Too much upside with those two. Esp if this is an NBA Jam team we are making.
