I'm not barfing but I'm still not happy about it. Then again my ability to be unhappy had to be kind of spread out after the Howard pick.

I'm still barfing. I don't like Black as a player for us, BUT what's making me barf even more is Fultz Suggs and Cole are all on the record saying how much they love Orlando and how good the organization has been to them. Now 1 or maybe 2 of them are going to get bounced somewhere else and is going to be a nice example to Paolo and Franz on why being "loyalty" means nothing

crap.....now ur making me barf more too...

Just gonna stick it out to see what the #36 ends up as, then gonna get some much-needed sleep. It's already getting properly light outside here.

The sky is not falling. I'm disappointed we passed on Dick. He was a guy who I think would fit perfectly and make us much better. But since the recent rebuild, WeHam have evaluated really well. So, welcome Jett and Anthony. The Michigan thing is weird, though. And trading the 2nd rounder this early is again frustrating. Wait to see who drops and then trade it if you don't value it.

Holy cow... I've read that depression was through the rough due to covid/staying home but you guys need to relax and take a deep breath. It's not that serious.

I totally agree. We can use more Dick on this team.

He is very similar to Markelle Fultz. Let the seculation of Cole Anthony leaving town begin.

wouldnt it make more sense to Fultz to be moved? since they are so alike

no baby....why would we get rid of our Lord and Father Markelle?

Cole can pack his bags. And that is more of a demand than a suggestion.

Offtopic: Anyone have tips for excessive nightly urination?

They will say Anthony Black can play 1-3 but going to be hard unless his shot gets better to have him on the floor with Fultz.

With both Fultz and Anthony free agents next year, Black gives you insurance and he is a damn good player.

His game reminds me so much of Markelle Fultz's and if he develops a shot and apparently he has been fixing that, watch out.

The Magic still had their pick of wings at #11 too.

Much later than previous years when The Magic would do it hours before The Draft.

No point in reading mocks. Who’s entering the draft from Michigan next season?

Is it safe to take my mask off, father?

Also, please don't be late tucking me into bed tonight. You've been late every night this week.

and no one will play Black at 3 over Jett, since Jett can at least shoot from distance. and with Franz, i dont see Black getting any time at SF. so he will get 3rd string PG and backup SG behind at least Suggs and who knows who else

Yes, I was aware of that. Just looking to see what that pick ends up being used on, out of curiosity.

No matter what, Jett is going to be great forum discussion fodder for the next two-three years.

Guys just look at it this way we have the front court solidified and locked in. They are pulling the joker move breaking the pool cue for the guards and saying go earn what you think you deserve Black is gonna to push Fultz and Anthony. Jett will push Caleb and Suggs. Meritocracy as we improve.
