Pick was in early. I guess they got the guy they wanted....

Cole Anthony.... I've HATED his game forever and he's on my team. Nothing like a 6'3 chucker.

I’ll take the guy who can flat out score, who was a top prospect only a year ago and will certainly have a major chip on his shoulder to prove that he never should have been picked after so many players.

Fultz and Cole would compliment each other well !

And ....at least he’s not a “long boi” ?

I won't pretend like I'm knowledgeable about this draft class. The covid interruption threw me off and I just really didn't dive into this draft at all. I'm willing to believe that Cole Anthony was a bad pick and that Weltman should be publicly executed (with masks on, of course, I wouldn't want it to be a Superspreader Event). But we finally drafted a friggin guard prospect. About friggin time.

I am disappointed Magic traded #45, I would have liked to see who Magic is getting in the 2nd round

Not excited for Cole, but really all the prospects I would have been excited for were off the board already.

I just wonder what's more surprising - NBaDraftNet got our pick right with Cole Anthony, or the Magic picking some talent that we actually need???

Maybe we made the pick for a different team?

Play Cole Anthony and Fultz together as starters with both averaging 30+ minutes per game, should be an exciting backcourt!

RookieStar · Post #516 » by **RookieStar** » Thu Nov 19, 2020 2:35 am

Well... we got a scorer at least *barf*

Whos shooting? Who’s defending?

Cole Anthony was the best player on a team with 0 talent, that was a horrible team, and he was forced to do pretty much everything.

Stop the complaining, put down the pitchforks, and douse the torches. Anthony is going to be just fine for us and I think he will actually fit really well once Evan is moved. This solidifies our backcourt of the future, time to get used to Cole.

I can't get on board with the Buls, Cavs or Suns picks... They are the only reasons Vassell, Haliburton and Nesmith got close to us.

Score-first point guard who can play on or off the ball. Good defender who can move his feet and keep up with speedy guards with lateral quickness. Has an explosive first step, and can pressure defenses by attacking downhill.
A little bit of questionable shot selection and can become a better passer in pick and roll situations, but that's all aspects of his game that can be fixed by intelligent coaching staff and it comes with experience in the league.
He's a dynamic guard, coach Calipari praised him a lot recently (not a surprise), but still, I believe he will have a good career. Seems to be highly motivated, plays with a heart. Also comes from a basketball family and background, son of Greg Anthony.

How do you feel about Cole Anthony in a Magic uniform this season?

I would be fine with it except, I bet Celtics will draft Anthony at #14 just to screw the Magic

That'd be annoying as hell.

Well, I am glad that did not happen!
