2012 Orland Magic NBA draft thread ...

[ChildishGambino]

Only watch this vid if you have the time...it's a vid of Wroten's team.....the focus isn't on Wroten entirely but i think it's better than a highlight since it shows the flow of the game and can see him make his reads......after watching this vid you can't tell me he can't be a Point guard in the league...The ball-handling is there.....the vision is definitively there......the speed is there......he's not perfect but at 19 everyone isn't......FYI he's number 14.....Terrance Ross is in there too lol

Yeah, Wroten looks great when you actually watch him in game. He makes some of the most beautiful passes, and he does it consistently. Out of the projected first rounders he is the best penetrater, no one could stop him getting to the hoop (he was #1 FTA in NCAA PA) . He was washington's best player and should easily be in the lottery, i have a feeling that he will go top 10 in this draft.

In game production >> workouts.

I like Wroten and was a more of a fan of his when he was killing in HS. My friend who is currently a scout for the Magic said when we brought Tony in with the other prospects to workout last week that he was the best player there, but he also let me know that our staff had concerns about his knee. Not sure how that affects his stock. He will get selected for sure but does he drop? I think 19 is too high for him but if he's around anywhere near 49 we can think about making a play. I also like this Tomas Satoransky kid.

One week away from the most exciting day of the year.

This is going to be exciting and I'm counting on Rob for a great pick.

[Skin]

I'm pretty sure whoever is picked, he will be immediately adored and Hennigan will be crowned. It's such a deep draft that at 19 you will get a Day 1 starting caliber player. So it's pretty much a mistake free pick.

What I'm more interested in is seeing if he makes any draft day maneuvers to acquire another pick or move up in the draft.

Terrence Ross meet B-easy... B-easy, Terrence Ross, I'm glad I could introduce you. A big lol at top 10 too.

Don't know about top 10 pick but i believe he has top 10 potential....and at 19 he could be a diamond in the rough.....that size....the speed and the athleticism....plus the vision and creative passing ability you don't see every day.....but he does have weaknesses and has some work to do on his game but at 19 i think Wroten is a solid choice.......

[Truth24]

This is probably the most excited I have been for our draft in a long time, because there are so many prospects I like. I keep going back and forth between Royce White, Quincy Miller, Terrence Jones, Perry Jones, Jared Sullinger, Tony Wroten, and Marquis Teague. I think I would be happy if we landed any of these players.

[ChildishGambino]

It's almost as if we can't lose......considering the Dwight situation...we're not in that bad a spot

[cedric76]

nice read

Boom or bust, few of those guys could be avaialble at 19

I don't think his fingerprints are on those picks as much as you think.

Dion Waiters getting buckets.

Chunky Butt. Pass.

I want guards who can run the break. Speed is an underrated skill in basketball.

[Truth24]

Dion Waiters has a promise in the lottery, but even if did seem to fall I wouldn't want him over other prospects we have discussed.

[Noonskadoodle]

If Waiters slipped I would take him in a heartbeat but there is no chance of that happening.

Watching the guy at Cuse he loves to attack attack attack. I knew he had a decent jumper, but I had no clue he could shoot that well. You can see why he got a lottery promise from a team.

I am not insinuating his prints are on them at all. I have no clue what input/influence he had on these picks. I am just pointing out the actual picks made by the teams while he was in the "circle".

[The Effect]

I really dont get this waiters hype, i seriously dont get why hes rated so high, but either way, if he goes ahead of our pick, that means someone else will fall to us

And the closer it gets to the draft, the more excited im gettng that someone great is going to fall to us

Out of curiosity, who do you guys think have to potential to 'fall' to us that you'd go crazy for. Like for instance I 'expect' wroten, q. miller and teague to be there. I'd love for Marshall, P. Jones, or T. Jones to 'fall' to us.
