1 thing I found hilarious was that the writer was willing to give like 75% HOF chances yet wouldnt give 100% starter chances ...

this mock draft from draft express seems a little more realistic...


Considering this is a site that doesn't seem to keep it's stats up to date very well.
And I wouldn't pick any that you show in your mock draft. My fav for the Magic is Robin Lopez I think that he is a great fit for what ails the Magic.

Budinger is a pretty good player, and I think he'll have a better NBA career than Rush, but I am not sure he is what the Magic need. I also don't think he'll be on teh baord when we pick.

If Chris Douglas-Roberts fell to us, I'd jump on him. Other guys I'd look at are:

Davon Jefferson - Plays a lot like Tayshaun Prince. Great defender. Offensive game lacks, but the Magic need a lockdown defender who can come off the bench. He's also a very good rebounder.

Joe Alexander - Good defender, Good shooter. Won't ever be a great player, but will be a solid NBA player.

Shan Foster - Want a scorer? Here he is.

Bill Walker - Some personal issues aside, this guy could be a steal if he gets his raw game straightend

I'd take Rush like the mock has us doing. I don't see us with any 2nd rd picks in this mock, what happened?

Neither of them are MY mock draft... they are just websites i have been looking at.. Where you referring to my poll? And i have heard some stuff about Robin Lopez but not much, would you care to explain why youd pick him?

Alexander will be back at WVU. Jefferson is old as hell. He's as old as hibbert. I'd love to get a pick in the 2nd round and get walker.

Nemesis, we dont have a 2nd round pick we drafted the guy in your avatar with it.(Riley wanted compensation for us to sign SVG so it was with swaping a 1st rounder, which if riley is drunk may happen or we give em our 2nd rounder).

Back to the draft I like both 2 guards Rush and CDR I'd say Rush fits beacuse he shoots alot of 3s and was a pretty good defender, but I like CDR better as an all around player who can get to the lane and quietly put up numbers.

As for big men Arthur or Spaghetti(Thats what I call the dude from Florida) would be nice if they drop. If not Hibbert would be my big man choice for his offense and size followed by RLopez for his defense and rebounding. Following closly 3rd would be Alexander and maybe Hendrix he looks like a Paul Milsap type of player.

I wouldnt mind trading for a second rounder picking up Chalmers or Dorsey. Off topic but I heard or read some where Ewing is coaching the summer league team, Maybe Ewing Jr can hop on there, hes not on any mocks but he was a nice defensive player at Georgetown.
