Available Players Worth Non-Lottery First Round Picks (Edit: Picks 10-30)

Pritchard, especially on his contract, is easily worth a non-lotto first. Hauser I don’t believe is worth a first, but a collection of 2nds.

I think he has shown he scales up enough that he is worth late lotto or a mid-first + more. e.g., Orlando should absolutely offer 16 + 25.

I agree with you on Pritchard's value. Not sure I love him for the Magic who need more of a PG. PP feels more like a SG in a point guard sized body. But if they believe in Banchero/Wagner's creation far more than me, I'd offer up both picks and take both guys and then get rid of all my ungtd guys.

I don't disagree with you there. At the same time, I think Pritchard is very projectable in those lineups.

Banchero = Tatum
Wagner = Brown
Suggs = White/Holiday
WCJ = Horford
Pritchard = Pritchard

I think there's a clear road map for what his role would be there and mirroring it to what he's had a lot of success with in BOS.

Oh I can see it too, I just see the veteran Celtic version better across the board. The archetypes are similar enough, but not the refinement. But with the exception of Carter Jr who I can't see ever approaching even old man Horford, I could see the Magic talking themselves into the core 3 growing enough to make it feasible.

Get Chris Paul to take their exception and I'd love it.
