If the odds get down to -1000, I'm calling the race for Smith.

Still cool with any of the 3. Still voting Jabari because I like his game and Chet's frame still worries me. But would absolutely be happy with Chet.

Looks like Chet is even, in this poll.

Either of three for me. I’ve done some of my own research, comparisons and reading which gives me some more hope for Jabari being a little more versatile than I originally anticipated.

It's either Jabari or Chet boys. I would be fine with either of the two.

Maybe we can finally silence the Paolo talk. He is a tier below the top 2 and isn't being considered at #1.

Too early to tell. Let's just cover all our bases first and decide after we work out, interview, and whatever all potential #1 picks.

Banchero is easily a candidate for the #1 pick.

Can we work a deal with the Kings to somehow land #1 and #4? Give me Jabari + Ivey all day.

What would the kings want from Orlando for pick 4?

At this point our fanbase is so jaded we will complain no matter what the pick is... We struck gold with the Franz pick. Made a nice trade for Vuc. Have a solid 6 young prospects (Carter, Isaac, Franz, Suggs, Fultz, Anthony) where at least 3 of them if healthy are solid NBA starters (Carter, Isaac, Franz) AND have the 1st pick in the draft. Not to mention cap flexibility, future extra draft picks and 3 guys in Okeke, Hampton and Bamba who may be solid rotational players. Life aint that bad. This is what we all begged for. Let's have some faith that we are about to add a key piece to the team we love and get back to playing some playoff basketball!
