This should be posted on the thread on the GB where everybody talked so much trash about Mo being "dunked" on. This would qualify as a poster am I rite? Lol

That's a ridiculous reply... its not unheard of for VUC at center or Isaac at SF... the only one possibly out of position is Bamba, but he has the same build as KG starting out, who was a forward, so its not like birch or biz as guards

I posted something similar a while ago. Bamba doesn’t yet have center weight,and Vuc is one of our best players. I also see Isaac and and AG as wings, but this is mostly about Bamba and Vuc.
Remember when Kobe elbowed Jameer in the chin so hard Jameer was knocked down and sent skidding across the floor?

I know Kyler's reputation, but he's saying that the Magic would have still picked Bamba in a trade up to 3 :o

Think about the firestorm THAT would have set off here.

From what they told in interviews it could be truth. There were rumors Boston wants to trade up for Bamba. Both Weltman and Hammond said that they had scenarios where Bamba falls to 6 but they didnt believe it. They said they jumped through the roof when Bamba falled. You dont jump through the roof when you targeted Trae and Doncic, you jump through the window.
There is strong chance Bamba was number 1 on their big board.
My money is on Banchero going number 1 !

Wasn't there some chatter out there that the Suns even thought about taking Bamba #1 after his workout, but ultimately felt Ayton was the best option right away and he went to Zona, so it was almost like they had to take Ayton.

Bamba could be the best player in this draft. Not sure how anyone could hate the pick considering we were at 6. I would rather have Bamba and next years lotto pick over Doncic.

Mo tries to dunk over Embiid around 16:35 Lol. He did come out of nowhere to get the rebound. It's going to be hard to keep him off the boards.

Return to Orlando Magic
