If the knock on Suggs coming into this year is that his jumper was iffy, he's passing that test with flying colors early on in his freshman season as he's 9-16 from 3PT thus far.

Not sure why this is such a funny thing.
I think there's only 3 teams in the entire league that are no questions asked worse than the Magic and that's Detroit, New York and Cleveland.
Orlando, at least in my opinion, have a pretty wide variance. They could finish as the 8 seed again and be picking 15th overall, but it feels like they could just as easily slide all the way back to 12th in the East. If they do end up 12th in the East they will almost assuredly end up in the bottom 5.
The non-playoff teams in the West appear to be much stronger than the non-playoff teams of the East.

I am still waiting for people cooling off on Cade. I am really stunned about hype he is getting. I am no evaluator but he underwhelms in most crucial aspects. I hear year in year out, that we need to be very careful with players with limited athletecism, who create their looks by sheer size and strength at lower levels. Yes he has more skills than that, but nothing elite.

Watching the games Cade's talent is evident.
I would be absolutely shocked if there is even a debate next summer of who the first pick is.

I’m reading up and watching some tape on Jonathan Kuminga (what little there is) and I’m ready to add him to this group — also with a G-League asterisk.
I have not yet studied Mobley who is also widely interchanged in the top tier of mocks. However, with Vuc here, I don’t know if he is our target. Those other 4 would be a far greater prize.
This really could be a “Big 5” draft class. Even if Mobley isn’t our top prize, he might be for someone ahead of us. I’m starting to feel landing anywhere in the top 5 would be very exciting.

I really like Mobley, he looks like a can't miss. I think he's a close comparison to Bosh.RookieStar wrote:MagicFan101 wrote:For a while now it’s been talk of the “Big 3” with an asterisk on Green.

If you have to choose between Mobley or Kuminga, I would suggest Mobley. He has already shown everything you could ask for ina modern big. So far Kuminga ( not counting on his G league career ) is like those players who just overpowers competition. Then again we haven't seen the GL teams play. Who knows he could be the consensus #1 pick if he shows out.
