Let’s have some fun! Let’s pretend the draft is over and we have one of the top 3. The most important question then becomes of course, what jersey number does each player select? This will be especially interesting since a current Magic player has all of their college numbers. I’ll start:

Chet
Wore 34 at Gonzaga (WCJ)
My prediction: #7 or #35

Jabari
Wore 10 at Auburn (Bol Bol)
My prediction: #10 (sorry Bol Bol)

Paolo
Wore 5 at Duke (Bamba)
My prediction: #8

Well, perhaps after Isaac is traded, #1 can be considered.

If that happened I’m sure Suggs would be all over #1.

#1 should have been retired now.

Whoever we draft should take "1" from JI since he's not doing much with it. And I don't think we should retire 1 since we've never won a championship. Hopefully I eat my words and JI comes in balling into the NBA first team with a deep playoff run lol.

I agree.

And given that there was a 32 and then a 12, I think Smith/Holmgren has clear "permission" to do whatever he wants. O'Neal and Howard said so!

Crap; Shaq just turned 50. Hmmph.

Agree 100%. Jabari Smith would look amazing wearing number 1
