And Bilal is just very intriguing IMO. I don’t believe his ft% and fg% show he’s a great 3pt shooter so not really sure how to take those numbers. But it’s interesting because I’ve heard ft% indicates shooting ability and potential improvement.

Taking Black at 6 doesn't necessarily mean a trade is coming. All it means is that we officially have given up on Suggs as a PG. We could go in next year with Fultz as the starter with Suggs at the SG. Then Black off the bench as the PG with Cole as the SG. Black guards the other teams SG depending on the matchup. Not saying it's what we should do but we could do that.

It would be insane to have Suggs and Black as shooting guard duo. Our leading 3 point specialist in our starting lineup would be Wendell Carter lol.

Side note: You and I may be the only Orlando Magic-Baltimore Ravens fans on the planet. Cheers man. :beer:

Nah Id have Black as the backup point guard with Cole as the backup 2. But long term your right. If the plan is to move on from Fultz then we would be facing Black and Suggs in the back court :noway:

Yea I actually live in Baltimore. Since we don't have an NBA team I started rooting for the Magic when I was a kid and never could them go. So yea we probably are the only 2. :lol: . Thats pretty cool

Coulibaly/ Hawkins draft would be fun. I'd be hype.

Hell yeah. I am from NJ but spent my summers in Orlando with family so have been a Magic lifer. For football, I couldn't stand the Jets, Giants and Eagles around me so went with the next closest team. LOVE M&T Stadium and go to at least 2 games a year there. Fingers crossed they are good this year.

Draft and trade Coulibaly + Fultz to San Antonio for DV.

I’m okay with Black at #6 if this ends up happening.

The magic will take Hendricks at #6. Tell me how he’s different from Jabari Smith from last year? Fits this team perfectly.

Magic don’t have a starting need for Hendricks,

Regarding Coolibaby, if he is available at #11 then San Antonio will be willing to overpay

I do think Orlando has/will try and move up for Scoot. But baring that, I expect Hendricks to be the pick at 6.

11 could go a LOT of different ways. Personally I’d take Cason Wallace. But I would be fine with a shooter (Hawkins or dick) or the lotto ticket coulibay.

Poole for CP3. Washington is going berserk to remake that team in a short span. Good for them.

I think CP3 is still better than Beal.
