Wendell Carter at 6?

[zaymon]

It's a perimeter league but you have to have tough guys. Watching Boston-Philadelphia series and Miami-Philly series it was a fight every game.

You don't use the #6 pick for one. Resign Speights. Gives us toughness and legitimate 3pt shooting. Don't need Carter who is likely to give us a David West type player.

Cmon man just admit you have this love-hate relationship with Carter West is two time All-star, around 20 pts a game efficient scorer when given opportunity. Carter projects as a better passer, 3 point shooter, rim protector. You say no, but your mind says all-star and your heart screams for some Carter hug. I think i am at a state where i take Trae before Carter but if we snag any of them i am happy

You don't get a Seth curry with #6 either

Haven’t read the 6 pages, but I see this as worst case scenario for the Magic drafting at 6. Bamba, MPJ or Trae unless one of the other top prospects fall.

Carter is not even as good as Vuc.

What sets apart from Steph from Seth and any point guard like CP3 is his defensive tenacity. Also Steph is an outlier in offense. He has no conscience in taking 3's that would be a bad shot for other coaches.

Trae Young is miles away from Steph. In terms of offensive moves and defense. But Trae's strength is his play making ability but this is on the premise that he can get his shots off in an NBA caliber defense.

For me if Doncic is available at 6 he can be our point forward who can maximize our present talents in offense. He can facilitate like Turk did in our 4 out 1 in offense.

The key in todays NBA is versatility and 2 way players. Play making skills in every positions. Basketball IQ is now important than freakish atletism. Aside from great one on one skills like Jason Tatum. Todays players need a lot of heart and tenacity to play defense like marcus smart. That what was lacking in Elfrid payton, he may have all the physical tools but what is between his head was troulsome fir the team.

People still think Doncic will be there at 6?

Young is not Steph. Doesn't have to be. Doncic is not a 2 way player as a Point Forward.

Yeah that is also the problem with Doncic. He is a liability in defense. He is not as tall as Turk. He may be like our Mario when he started to play in the NBA. He maybe overwhelmed that he cannot operate like he did in Europe. NBA is a different animal with a lot of scouting and opposing players studying every move and weakness. Doncic is only 19 and he should never stop working on his weakness.

No nba player should ever stop on working on his weakness.

Carter needs to learn how to run or he will have a career with injury problems

He looks agile to me.

Not agility but mechanics

[VFX]

IMO this is the best true Center in the draft that fits how the position is most effective in today’s nba.

Carter was sharing the court with Bagley and was in a Duke system that didn’t necessarily showcase his game to the fullest extent.

Obviously as a #6 pick , Orlando will have to move Vuc to make sense of this selection.

Vucevic is very skilled such a high bar you set

[basketballRob]

With the eye test and in every statistical category in college Carter is better than Vuc.

[uraverage]

After watching almost ever Duke game this year. I can tell you that he is not agile at all. He always seemed to be in foul trouble (could have been the zone d). Also his stats are not a good representation of him, being that he was always playing against the opposing teams 2nd best defender, first was on Bagley. I think he has BUST written all over him.

[fendilim]

I honestly thought WCJ would be the only player we are considering for the 6th that would disappoint me. Now we have Sexton to be concerned about too...

[SOUL]

Not sure I understand this part. You're assuming every other team's best defender is whoever lines up against Bagley, which simply isn't true. He (Bagley) may have gotten more attention, sure, but it doesn't mean they were the team's best defenders.
