Name one prospect in your team’s draft range that you really don’t want and why

[SelfishPlayer]

Tor the Magic, please no Chet Holmgren. He's a very good prospect, but pretty redundant with what we already have and not the alpha scorer we desperately need.

feels like all top 3 guys are redundant on the Magic tbh, if this was last year's class you would've taken Cade and ran.

Positionally redundant maybe, but either guy would be the most talented scorer on the team and maybe the best outside shooter as well.

For sure on Cade. No one in the draft at his level.

Cade was a 20 year old NBA rookie. Jabari Smith played his entire freshman season as an 18 year old.

For Dallas, players I don't want
1. Walker Kessler
2. Jaden Hardy
3. Patrick Baldwin Jr
4. Kennedy Chandler
5. Kendall Brown

Players I want
1. MarJon Beauchamp
2. Jalen Williams
3. Dalen Terry
4. Wendell Moore Jr.
5. Jake Laravia

Players I want if we move back to the early 2nd
1. Wendell Moore
2. Jake Laravia
3. Jaylin Williams
4. Christian Braun
5. Christian Koloko

Curious how you're feeling about Hardy now that you got him. Seems like he's been playing really well.

I will freely admit to being dead wrong about both Walker Kessler and Jaden Hardy. Kessler is way more mobile than I though he was going to be coming out of college. And Hardy looks like he's going to be an All Star. Once he gets stronger(and by extension can finish better at the rim) and tightens his handle he will be excellent. I think a serious argument could be made that Hardy will next season will be an upgrade over THJ. To be fair to me though his 3pt percentage is also 14% higher this year.

iow, cade was a 20 year old nba rookie and jabari is a 19 year old nba rookie. but that was funny how you mentioned cade's age as a rookie and jabari's age as a frosh in college to make it seem like they were even further apart in age.

I do not want Brice Sensabaugh for GS. He’d be in Kerr’s doghouse on day one and would never get out.

There’s generally one prospect in each draft that I can’t stand. Prior examples have been Knox, Reddish and Ziaire Williams.

This year I’d have to say Jordan Walsh - I highly doubt he’ll ever develop a good enough offensive game to get on the court in the NBA.

I would have said Nick Smith Jr, but I don't think he will end up going top 10, so I'll say the Thompson twins.

I feel like he’s exactly the type of guy who figures out how to stay in the league.

For the Orlando Magic it would be Nick Smith Jr. He is a shooter, and we need that, but he had a disappointing season at Arkansas. His lack of health, shooting consistency, efficiency, and tendency to rely on floaters and reverse layups when attacking the paint are all red flags. He doesn't have a strong frame or explosiveness to create separation or draw fouls. It also seems like he struggles with his handles and often ends up forcing shots or turning it over. In the tournament he didn't look NBA ready at all and definitely wasn't a difference maker.
