I think Magic will stay put and get Jabari, Magic needs a scorer

They’re aging better than the Franz panic hate post for weeks following the draft!!

WCJ/Bamba
Jabari/JI
Franz/T.J. Warren
LaVine/Gary
Suggs/Fultz

I hope Magic do not sign Lavine, he is overrated

Nah... no one thinks of him as a savior. He's a bucket. That's all. And it weakens the Bulls... who owes us their pick next year

Fultz / Suggs / Franz / Jabari / WCJ

Barring any big FA addition (ideally a SG and we run a PG rotation of Suggs / Fultz), give me that.

Honestly, I don’t plan to study for this draft.

I have some opinions on the players but my strongest opinion is that there likely is NOT a super star in this class. So just select someone they feel is found to a great piece to add to the roster and move on.

Franz, Chuma, Suggs, Cole late … grabbing WCJ. These moves give me confidence they can spot NBA quality talent. We will get a decent player.

I’m not going to stress myself out.

I give it 24hrs max.

At least we have tonight where we can all get along lol

Don't want an overrated stick man on this team.

Maybe we can sign Victor Oladipo. He is cheap and he could provide a spark on scoring on the offensive end

I think it's more of a case of it's harder to identify who can be a star, not that there won't be any. We absolutely don't know just like we didn't know guys like Giannis and Gobert and McCollum would be the best in 2013 despite it being a weaker draft to most people.

Even the Edwards-Wiseman-Ball draft was considered to be the weakest in a long time and two of those guys are already looking incredibly promising. If we mean Doncic-LeBron-Duncan level prospects, yeah, I agree, but talent wise.. the ceilings are open for any of these guys in the first round.

But yeah, most of these top 5 guys would be welcome additions.

Chet/Bamba
WCJ/Isaac/Bol
Franz/Okeke
Suggs/RJ
Fultz/Cole

That bench makes me cringe. If I have to watch Cole and RJ share the floor regularly again, it better be because we are actively tanking.

Magic gotta get this right. Get the best possible outcome possible. If it’s Shaedon Sharp, do it, if it’s trading for a established young talent, do it. Just don’t f this up.

Now that the Magic are seemingly ensured of grabbing one of Chet/Jabari/Paolo, is there any chance they'll look to move Isaac to balance the roster?

No pressing need to make a move to upgrade elsewhere (we still need to see what will happen with our PG/SG situation) -- plus I don't think teams are willing to take a chance on Isaac with his injury history. Best case scenario is Isaac doesn't really lose much of a step defensively, still has decent offense, and can fit in here.

Could even see some Suggs (or Fultz)/Wagner/Jabari/Isaac/WCJ lineups potentially. With Chet it might be more weird unless we're fine putting Isaac at SF.

If we're being honest, he's an elite shooter that you hope develops into a good scorer. I have Jabari at #1 right now but I've been saying for a while that I'm a huge fan of this draft class. All options, including trading the pick for more assets should be on the table... and I'm not one that typically advocates for trading a good asset for multiple lesser assets.

With the uncertainty of Mo and Rolo, we basically only have WCJ and MoW as our bigs.. unless you out Okeke there as well. Having JI as a " just in case " is fine.

Which pick will we land tonight?
