I dont know if Danny Wolf is good or not, but Im going to lose my mind if we draft another Michigan player.

Utah sent No. 21 and second-round picks to Washington for Walter Clayton Jr., sources said.

Orlando needs to be on the phone and seeing what it takes to move up for KJ.

Getting a top-10 prospect in the 20’s is exactly what the Magic need.

I want Raynaud.

I’m stunned Kasparas keeps falling.

Who cares? Offense is beyond inept and you worry about defense.


Watch the NBA finals, and tell me if this guy could have played in that game (once hes fuily reached his potential). If the answer is no, which it is given he would be repeatedly exposed on D, then why take him? We are in the business of winning a championship, not winning games in November. You are only as strong as your weakest link on D, and this guy is a turnstile on D.

If you are expecting a #25 pick to fix our scoring woes, you probably need to adjust your expectations a bit.

Jakucionis, Wolf, Clifford, Penda, Richardson, Newell, Fleming.

Guaranteed at least two will be on the board.

Man this is working out extremely well for us. Going to get a guy I would have considered at 16, unless they go crazy off the board.

Bunch of guys I listed earlier at #25

Liam McNeeley, Danny Wolf, Ryan Kalkbrenner, Will Riley, Maxime Raynaud, Rasheer Fleming, Koby Brea (Yes, I think he's a 1st round talent) Drake Powell, Maybe Nique Clifford

all still available.

The Blazers are my second favorite team and OF COURSE they got Hansen Yang (who I was afraid the Magic would get). I can’t win :lol:

Good pick for Miami. Arguably the best player on the board.
