DX nailed Osby at 51 to us on the mock. Wonder what the all-time mock draft success rate is on picks 51 and beyond.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

I will def be watching him closely.


You'll be watching him move to ATL after spending about 10 minutes as a Sixer.

who'd Milwaukee get? They only got Antetokonupo as far as I know?

Noel + MCW will be interesting. But 2 big men with knee concerns isn't a solid foundation for your team.

If I were them I wouldn't re-sign Bynum.



They drafted Ricky Ledo (one of my guys) and then flipped him for Nate Wolters (another one of my guys).

I hope Henny didn't take Osby. Why not Kabongo???

Osby is a high character high work, Henny guy. A reach for sure. Someone Henny fell in love with apparently.

I saw Oklahoma play 3-4 times & Osby was by far there best player, but still disappointed in this pick if true.

A bigger guy, who is capable of knocking down some jump shots....Tough rebounder when I watched.

Like I said though. Only watched about 3 games, he was leading scorer, but he didnt jump off the screen or anything. Was their best player, but they were no powerhouse.

I'm trying to pretend like I'm not excited, but we all know that I am.


You should be.

Didn't get your guy but hopefully you'll be happy tomorrow if all goes well.


Oh yeah, I'm fine. I can't even pronounce the guy's name, so I won't act like I'm genuinely upset in any way. If Hennigan and co. liked Osby, then that's fine by me. They found a quality guy in the 2nd round last year.

Romero Osby is a good pick.

I love Henny. Always doing something unexpected.

So Osby is a wing player?? Don't need with Harris, Harkless, Oladipo. Kabongo, PG is a need! :banghead:

What is he, a SF? Another 6'8 SF?

Man, I'm really underwhelmed with this draft.

Never heard of Romero but he looks good from his highlights and I trust Henny. If he is as good of a find as O'quinn then I'll be very happy.

Looked pretty decent in his highlight reel. Can shoot and can drive, as they said could be a rotation guy. If he doesn't make it oh well doesn't cost us anything...

Return to Orlando Magic
