The Indiana pick conveys to Orlando

[drsd]

What about this Oscar Tshiebwe guy? He averaged 17/15 for Kentucky and it's like a late 1st, early 2nd pick.

His length and height of his release is ridiculous!

He is a WeHamm type.

Never watched him, but he is 6'9" (7'4" wingspan), so it reminds me Ben Wallace, I know that times are different, but I can see this guy becoming at least a good backup C, way better than keeping/extending Mo, IMO.

Same measurments as Biyombo

He doesn't look the part, but it's tough to argue against his productivity. He is very active on the glass. The AST/TO is awful. He probably won't offer rim protection. Floor spacing is a longshot. The rebounding is good enough that you can't write him off completely. He could be the next Reggie Evans?

Don't be surprised if he goes back to Kentucky. Without a 1st-round promise, he would likely make better money next year by staying at Kentucky.

wasnt Wallace really 6'7 with 7'2 wingspan?

3.4 stocks per game and 69% from FT line (5 FTs per game) are good numbers, so it's not only about rebounding.
Still, Reggie Evans is a good comparison too.

Getting your hopes up about WeHam using our (early!) second rounders for anything productive is like getting your hopes up about something good happening for us on lottery night.

[JBSouthpaw]

He's 22.5 y.o. on draft day, which is a perfect candidate for round 2.
Can't see him improving status coming back a year and being close to 24 on opening night.

[jonbob17]

Give me Tshiewbe all day long at either of those 2nd round picks. He's going to carve out a solid career with his hustle and determination.

He was on the draft radars when he was a freshman at WVU.

[The Effect]

The Orlando Magic have acquired two future second round draft picks from the Milwaukee Bucks (a second round pick owed to Milwaukee from Indiana in either 2022, 2023 or 2024 and Milwaukee’s second round pick in 2026) in exchange for the Magic’s second round draft pick (45th overall) in the 2020 NBA Draft.

PBO Weltman looks like a friggen genius as this is already an upgrade from 45 to 35.

At 32 and at 35, Orlando will get two nice future G-leaguers to develop into probably bench players after some seasoning.

Ismael Kamagate might be certain as a draft and stash at 32, allowing 35 to be Mr. BPA. I love Patrick Baldwin as a combo forward, if available. Trayce Jackson-Davis is a solid-tank type player (i.e. he "takes space"). ANd speaking of space, there is also Mr. imppobile Walker Kessler.

I think WeHamm could go with Armando Bacot here, in addition to Kamagate.


p.s. The Bucks selected Jordan Nwora at #45, meaning he won a title as a cheerleader. He is a solid bench player this year.

Genius........Really?

He sold that pick, and id bet almost any amount of money he will sell this pick as well
The only person who should consider him a genius for this move is the devos family

Not worth it. Sure he goes after the ball but that's is his only niche. He is a 6'9 C that has long arms but average or below average athleticism. The only way he grabs those boards is because he is 260lbs against mostly 220 lb underdeveloped Cs in college. You really think he can grab those boards against even 6'9 uber-athletic 230lbs PFs? Let alone the 7ft Cs?

If he plays for a team, expect the opposing teams to switch aka hunt-him-down because he has no athleticism/lateral speed to keep up with the wings much less the guards from the perimeter... and based on the UK games I saw, he has not hops to block the shots aka rim protect from the opposing teams drives.

Correction: The Magic gave Biyombo 72 million so he could pay for Tshiebwe to leave the congo.
