Really going out on a limb here, but I would certainly love Cade Cunningham starting at SF for the Magic next season.

CAde just took over and is taking down Baylor. If not his back to back 3s, his clutch passing for the dagger or despite having the defensive player of the year on him, CAde still got his. Did I forget to mention his clucth FT shooting?

I’m not sold on Fultz + Cole as a starting combo for the future. I have come around on the pick. I like Cole off the bench. Perhaps I like Cole starting if we move Fultz and in a high caliber SG.

Regardless, if we grab Cade then I want a sharp shooting 3D SG.

I kinda envision Cole yo be the lights out no conscience scorer... shooting 3s or driving to the hoop thus I think Fultz and Cade would be ideal cuz they are more of distributing .

Alright, I admit.. Barnes impresses me. I don't get where the Ben or Magic comparison.. but other than 3pt shooting. he impresses me every way. Ball-handling, rebounding, sweet Euro step, quick burst..

If he ever found that shot (don’t think he will) he would be an NBA Super Star.

Without it, he is a fierce unsung star player every contender needs.

My Bears already lost, so my Noles have to pull this out! ... meanwhile, the Magic are dangerously close to a bad win.

This day is killing me!

If he could shoot, he'd be the No. 1 pick ahead of Cade without a doubt in my mind.

Hell, he can't really shoot and he's still probably going top 7.

That's the same as if AG could shoot he would be a multiple All-Star. Or if Fultz could shoot, he would be right up there with the top PGs in the league.

However, I haven't seen the "court general" skill of Barnes in that games though.Handle the ball yes, drive yes, defend yes.

Maybe.. I wanna see his production in the league though. I don't even know if he is a 3 or 4 yet in the NBA
