Another PG/SG in the draft? Interesting. Well if he is best player available.
It seems like a lot of combo guards like Keyonte last season turned into good PGs in the NBA.

Here's McCain getting emotional after the loss. At 7:00.

Not wrong.

All the top lotto picks are pretty average role players at best.

Everyone has been saying that since last year. Thats probably why ( aside from NIL ) there are a lot of returnees in the NCAA this season

The way names jump up and down a board is telling. Out of nowhere Zaccharie Risacher is leading most mocks for 1#

I dig his game so i can understand selection, but it's bit wild, i don't recall him being anywhere near 1# in past two- three months.

Mostly it's just lazy europien comparison to another europien prospect.

Their game really isn't all that similar.

Interesting part about Risacher is fact that he is son o Stephane, who is very fimilar face to any Europien basketball fan.

I dunno... Ive been really out of this draft this time. I still believe we will play out of the draft due to having so many young guys already and we are ahead of our timeline

There is value in every draft! Executives are saying that and are probably not trying to show their cards come draft time.

We have to hit a home run this draft and Anthony Parker has work to do! :D

Anyone find it interesting that Ulrich Chomche has not signed with a college team yet but his teammate, Khaman Maluach committed to Duke?

We'll probably trade our pick for Jordan Poole. He went to Michigan.

LeBron's son Bronny James is entering his name in the transfer portal. That means he is not entering the draft? Could UCF have a chance of snagging him? :D

I think we have to…that was the deal Devos made with J. Edgar Hoover on the UFO right before it crashed into the World Trade Center

Maybe Mosely can be a Poole whisperer

From the research i have done I'm gonna be upset if we don't draft Tristan De silva from Colorado. Basically a Franz clone, from Germany too. Great shooter, has all the intangibles that we like. Just a great player. He is a senior too, so should play and make an impact right away.

why enter the draft? a team uses a 2nd round pick on him to get Lebron and Bronny gets embarrassed every time on the floor because he isnt an NBA prospect, not even close

Why?

Are we hoping to land a 50 year old Lebron when he enters the draft?

my only question is, is he really productive because he is a senior vs underclassmen or is he the real deal.

Well: this is a great draft year to overachieve.

If the Magic gets to 50 wins and is the 2-seed in the East, Orlando is probably drafting 25th. (i.e. will finish with the 6th best record).

Maybe the Magic could draft Wooga Poplar. Poplar as an upperclassman would be a good fit for the team depth wise, if the Magic make the mistake of keeping this draft pick. Kevin McCullar is another name i this vein.

Magic don't punt first rounders or should I say they usually don't.... Plus why would it be a mistake? Just stick him in Osceola
