2024 Draft Prospects Orlando Magic Should Get

[Rainwater]

I bring a lot of shooting ability, which is very important for me and the team I'll be playing for," George told Hoops Hype's Cyro Asseo at the combine.
"I have a good IQ so I can just bring energy, shooting ability, versatility, play some defense and help out all over the court."

He is currently projected as a first-round pick according to a number of mock drafts: No. 17 New Orleans (NBADraft.net), No. 18 Orlando (Sporting News), No. 24 New York (CBS Sports), No. 24 New York (ESPN), No. 24 New York (Bleacher Report) and No. 29 Utah (The Ringer).

"Strong candidate to be a late-riser in this process," CBS Sports' Kyle Boone wrote.

"George shot 40.8 percent from 3-point range and rated in the 92nd percentile as a catch-and-shoot weapon as a freshman at Miami last season, per Synergy data.
Huge frame and does a little of everything that will have NBA teams intrigued."

Strong feeling that George will be a Magic player.

He is extremely raw. He is years from being impactful.

Sounds only logical tho?
Having yet another player on guaranteed contract stuck in G league makes no sense.

Weiss nicht was du damit meinst.
Sprachlich scheinst du nicht sehr begabt zu sein aber das überrascht micht nicht.
Wenn ich das lese was du hier so schreibst weiss ich dass du nicht der hellste bist.
Wie die meisten hier laberst du den ganzen Tag nur Müll.

The Jett pick was bad last year and the the mishandling of AB during the season was putrid BUT there is some serious value there with the 18th pick. Devin Carter, Terrence Shannon JR, Carlton Carringron, Nikola Djurisic, Baylor Shireman, and Zach Edey could be targets there and all could provide much needed help. Might even be interested in moving up to the 12th pick and doing a draft and trade with OKC involving the 12th pick and the 18th pick + player to be named ( outside core 3 ) if we really like one of those guys.

Something I don’t think has been mentioned is the possibility that the handling of Anthony Black and Jett Howard could potentially hurt us in this draft. Take Devin Carter for instance, he’s actually signed by WME Sports who also represents……ANTHONY BLACK! Carter had one of the best combines, plays great defense and fits a need we have at point guard with the desired defensive abilities.

But im sure there are so many super raw rookies right now hoping to get drafted for guaranteed money because in another draft they would get undrafted. #18 pick is still guaranteed millions.

So those millions could sure reconcile that prospected rookie to play and develop in the GL next season.

IT depends. Look at it from the Agents POV.

You are the agent of Jett.
Many including here thinks and knows he is RAW and should have been picked lower. Hence lesser guaranteed money.
Magic org says we will draft and develop the dude and get him ready for next season all the while paying him an 11th pick contract

IF you believe that Jett should have been picked 16th and below compared to the 11th, thats lke more than 5million dollars difference.

What was bad about Jett s pick? What are you talking about? Jett is new version of draft and stash.
Which benefited both parties

Just because you don't get it that I means that it was putrid

You r just not on that level yet, but you should understand it better next season when black and Jett are unleashed

I really hope you're right...but this whole "Weltman's a genius. You just don't get it" is a pretty arrogant statement...nobody had him ranked that high and he didn't contribute ANYTHING in his rookie year. It's not that easy a sale, in my opinion, to get on board with "Brilliant work Weltman. Your plan is unfolding perfectly"..."Jett will be so much better off next year" - why is that a supportable position?

[MasterGMer]

I think some of you are so eager to write Jett and AB off. They didn't make all Rookie team, yes. But they were a rookie on a 5th seed playoff team. Remember Jalen Suggs? Give them some time. I think they will turn out to be a good asset for us, if not next season

What was bad about the Jett pick? Lol are you serious? Before I totally rip you apart tell me what your expectations are for Jett next season.

[KillMonger]

Jesus man people became spoiled, they expect results right away from rookies when normally it isn't like that for most. There were people saying that Suggs was a bust initially, but with time I doubt those people are keeping that same energy these days. Calling a rook a bad pick shortly after their rookie year with no context at all? Amateur hour imo

I agree.
