He is an intriguing prospect but Im tired of freaking drafting projects. We need a sure thing for once! I rather use a mid 1st on SGA, Kevin Knox, or Lonnie Walker

If Gilgeous-Alexander slides to a range Orlando can trade for his rights with Vučević + #35 + #41, that would be outstanding for Orlando. I think Gilgeous-Alexander has a chance to be the best PG in a draft loaded with very talented PGs.

Also another project who will take 2-4 years to see anything. I think SGA will eventually be an SG. He has a similar trajectory to Nikilita. I like SGA and would love to have him here as our 2 guard of the future but we need one of those Clippers pick or higher for him. I personally think he will go top 10.

SGA= Tyreke Evans?

Not a bad comparison at this stage in his career. I still remember how Tyreke Evans was the first rookie since Lebron to avg 20, 5, 5 and that was his best year. Such a disappointment

Evans is a career 16/5/5 player. His "worst" year is better than most of Payton's years. If Gilgeous-Alexander is the next-coming of Evans, I would think most Magic fans would be please to get that for Vučević + #35 + #41.

While Anfernee seems to have the physical tools to be successful in the NBA, I think his basketball IQ and decision making will prevent him from becoming a starter in the league.

While the skills of SGA and Tyreke are similar, Tyreke was a much better athlete and had better vision.

Elie Okobo is the only PG I really want in this draft outside of Trae Young.

Demonstrated better offensive skill and feel for the game than many of the PGs in this draft and has great size and speed

Anfernee at pick 35 might be possible.

If Simons slides to 35, I see him in Magic blue next year.
