Post your Top 15 Magic Boards & Mock Drafts!

[Skin]

Some people have already done it and it was inspiring, so I'm gonna do one today, but I think it would be great to have one place to see everyone's thoughts!

What does YOUR board look like???

[Bensational]

1. Haliburton
2. Maxey
3. Vassell
4. Pokusevski
5. Lewis

7. Hayes
8. Bey
9. Anthony

This is what I've come to settle on, as far as who I want to see on our team, either with the pieces we have or with other moves.

Edit - as of the eve of the draft.

Magic Board Top 15
1. Anthony Edwards - Shades of Dwyane Wade, Jaylen Brown
2. Jayden Scrubb - Shades of Terence Ross, Kobe-lite
3. Devin Vassell - Shades of Eddie Jones, Trevor Ariza
4. Aaron Nesmith - Shades of Klay Thompson, Khris Middleton
5. Jaden McDaniels - Shades of Brandon Ingram, Jonathan Isaac

6. Aleksej Pokusevski - Shades of Lamar Odom, Dragan Bender
7. RJ Hampton - Shades of Zach Lavine, Dante Exum
8. Tyrese Haliburton - Shades of Lonzo Ball, Jamal Crawford
9. Killian Hayes - Shades of D'Angelo Russell, Spencer Dinwiddie

10. Jahmi'us Ramsey - Shades of Marcus Smart, Victor Oladipo
11. Isaac Okoro - Shades of Corey Maggette, Justice Winslow

13. Tyrese Maxey - Shades of Norman Powell, Cuttino Mobley
14. Robert Woodard - Shades of ?
15. Cassius Stanley - Shades of Derrick Rose, Jason Richardson

Mock Draft - Gonna give the Magic 2 chances to move up in a trade
1. Orlando Magic via Minnesota Timberwolves - Anthony Edwards, SG, Georgia - WE DID IT!!!
2. Golden State Warriors - James Wiseman, C, Memphis - Someone to combat Anthony Davis.
3. Charlotte Hornets - Obi Toppin, F/C, Dayton - NO WAY is MJ drafting Lamar Ball's son, but Obi is another bust.
4. Chicago Bulls - LaMelo Ball, PG, Illawarra Hawks - The fall stops here.
5. Cleveland Cavaliers - Onyeka Okongwu, F/C, USC - Drummond is a FA.
6. Atlanta Hawks - Tyrese Haliburton, PG, Iowa State - Provides strength behind or alongside Young.
7. Detroit Pistons - Deni Avdija, F, Maccabi Tel Aviv - BPA that fits a need.
8. New York Knicks - Killian Hayes, PG, Ulm - They're starting Elfrid Payton. lol
9. Washington Wizards - Isaac Okoro, G/F, Auburn - Okoro fits their bully ball style.
10. Orlando Magic via Phoenix Suns - Devin Vassell, G/F, Florida State - WeHam get's their guy. So long AG!
11. San Antonio Spurs - Aaron Nesmith, G/F, Vanderbilt - Popovich never valued athleticism anyways.
12. Sacramento Kings - Patrick Williams, F, Florida State - Because they don't know how to draft.
13. New Orleans Hornets - R.J. Hampton, G, NZ Breakers - Hornets stockpiling on young players with upside.
14. Boston Celtics (from MEM) - Jalen Smith, F/C, Maryland - Ainge covets raw physical specimens.
15. Orlando Magic - Aleksej Pokusevski, F/C, Olympiakos B - My official guess. I can get psyche'd up for this. McDaniels is more my flavor, but watch out for dark horse reach - Robert Woodard. If available, they'd pick Hampton or Nesmith, but I'm not seeing the availability.

[MagicFan101]

Not to take away from the exact topic, but I think an interesting compliment to “top 15” would be:

What 3 names do you put on a BLACKLIST or DO NOT DRAFT board?

1) Patrick Williams
— nice prospect but he is a project who does nothing for us

2) Cole Anthony
— I’m just not buying it

3) Got to think on this

[zaymon]

This is my Magic 2020 Value Big Board. If i think player is not worth trading up for i lower his ranking, if i think he can be drafted late first or second round i move him up.

1. Aleksej Pokusevski- potential role: big mobile wing with ball handling skills and rim protection. Propably available at 15, would move up for him. My comp is Hedo Turkoglu.

2 .Desmond Bane- movement shooter, secondary ball handler, switchable defender. For me he is player people project Nesmith to be. Would draft at 15. My comp is Joe Harris

3.Isaac Okoro- slasher, playmaker, on ball stopper, switchable defender. Would move up for him. Andre Iguodala

4. Theo Maledon- good shooter, very good passer, big, long, switchable defender. Would draft him 15. Klay Thompson

5. Kira Lewis jr.- good slasher, good shooter, good passer, smart defender but too small to be versatile outside 1-2. Would draft him 15 Dennis Schroeder

6. Josh Green- good passer, potential as a shooter, great athlete, versatile defender. Would draft him 15. Danny Green

7. Devin Vassell- good spot up shooter, great team defender. Would draft him 15, not eager to move up. Mikal Bridges.

8. Grant Riller- shot creator, amazing finisher, strong frame but not versatile defensively outside 1-2. Would draft him late first or second. Damian Lillard

9. Devon Dotson- slasher, good finisher, potential as a shooter, solid on ball defender, not very switchable. Would draft him late first or later. Kyle Lowry

10. Killian Hayes- I would prefer Maledon at 15 than trading up for Hayes. Kirk Hinrich

11. Lamelo Ball- I dont believe in his shooting, decision making and motor. Wouldnt trade up for him. Prefer Pokusevski as a tall ball handler. Ricky Rubio

12. Tyrese Haliburton- not much self creation. not a versatile shooter. not switchable defender. would not move up for him. Lonzo Ball

13. Cole Anthony- interesting potential with his shooting and athletecism. Ben Gordon

14. Tyrese Maxey- similar to Cole Anthony but less upside as a creator and shooter. Lou Williams

15. Saddiq Bey- big, good shooter, smart defender. Will find a role in some rotation. Cameron Johnson

Possibilities at #15

I do not think The Magic should grab a big here.

I'm very high on Haliburton and Vassell but it's highly unlikely The Magic land either without a Trade.

Kira Lewis Jr. is someone who I am also high on, feel is underrated and would be a steal at #15. Even with Markelle Fultz, he would be a good backup and feel he will eventually be at least a Starter. In these Drafts, you got to take the Best Available Player and believe Lewis would be that here.

If he is not there, It would be wise to grab one of the swingman like Aaron Nesmith, RJ Hampton or Josh Green who even though they are all above #15 on my big board, should not all be gone at #15.

I do hope for Kira Lewis Jr. there though as this pick is BPA and "Best Player Available).


Here are some players I like for #45 if The Magic keep it.

Immanuel Quickley
Josh Hall
Kenyon Martin Jr
Devon Dotson

All of the above would be good options for a Two-Way Contract or to sign outright with Lakeland.

I didn't put Toppin and Ball in my top 15. Also this isn't a realistic top 15, it's basically the players I'd want on the Magic in order.

I definetly have Lamelo Ball going #1, I be shocked if he don't. Followed by #2 Edwards and #3 Wiseman.

I think most have Edwards and Wiseman 1 and 2. If that happens it'll be interesting what Charlotte does. They seem really interested in Wiseman and may try to move up. If Ball falls they may not take him.

Love your board. Very unique! Been waiting for your release and it's good stuff!

Interesting that you have Lewis so high. I certainly like his game and makeup. I'd say I'm a little hesitant because he plays the same position as my favorite player currently on the Magic, in Fultz. I feel like there are other ways to address backup PG. However, if you feel like Lewis and Fultz could play on the floor at the same time, then I'm much more open to the idea of adding Lewis. I see no reason why Fultz couldn't play the 2 since he has the size and strength, but at the same time, I feel like we lose some advantage with having a line up with a big PG. Also not sure if Lewis has a strong enough 3pt shot to compliment Fultz.
