The Knicks has 3 games on the Magic. Orlando looks to dtaft no worse than Jayson Tatum, and only needs a small amount of luck for Jonathan Isaac.

Feels like the Magic will get the 5th pick in a four player draft.

Way too early for talk like that. Right now we're 4th, but it's pretty close from 4th-12th. A few stupid wins from our team and one or two other teams embracing the tank could really drop us fast.

You guys are from Florida so you're hypin up Isaac, but the truth is he might drop to even 7-8th. Fultz,Ball,Jackson,DSJ,Tatum. We have to get one of them.

After last night, I am convinced the Magic have zero shot at the playoffs. May as well tank . . .

Can someone give me a scouting report on Tatum's perimeter defense and passing? I have a good handle on his ISO skills and shooting, but I worry about his ability to fit within an NBA system without being a featured option. Would appreciate any input.

I reckon we need another Mario on this team.

We still play Brooklyn twice, philly and Phoenix.

We got to hope that the ping pong balls shed us a little mercy

The Magic is ties in the wins column with the Sixers. So no worse than 5th. The 6th and 7th worst teams are 2 games over the Magic. Hard to see Orlando catching Dallas and Portland, at this point.

If the Magic does finish 5th, there is a collective 29.2% chance of a top-3 pick. That contrasts at 4 an overall 37.8% chance at a top-3.

So, the "race" between 4th place Orlando and 5th place Philly is substantial.

Isaac's game is well suited for the current style of NBA play.

Sure, but he feels more like Ingram type of guy, im not sure if our management wants to wait 3 years for him to fully develop, especially his body.

What happens if we get another Mario and look the same next year. Repeat and waste another 81 games of fans time, staffs hours, players development, managements jobs and lose a ton of more money? This ain't a video game. Peoples livelihoods are at stake. We are already the laughing stock of the NBA.
