2023 NBA Draft Thread 3

KillMonger · Post #61 » by **KillMonger** » Tue May 16, 2023 9:26 pm

People sometimes get too caught up and get their hearts set on certain players that it kinda warps what the draft is supposed to be imo..... I'm extremely content with where we are at right now and to be real I'm cool with any outcome because I know no matter what at the very least we're going to get a talent that could help us....

Ultimately the draft is just another tool, but sometimes people tend to take it too far.... Like a certain former magic poster that will not be named.... Had his heart set on chet.... Completely left the board when we didn't get him.... Shame, quality poster too

Once past 7 we can land 6, 4, 3, 2, or 1, with the overwhelming favorite being top 4 at that point.

Two and a half more hours of being nauseous.

Playing with tankathon for awhile. Feels like I got top 4 more than not. But not a lot of #1 picks

They did a practice run where we got the #2, and Chicago got the #4.

Our hearts are going to be beating soon.

We all want #1 and a generational talent. My Prediction is Top-4 (Spurs or Hornets win) but not #1 although I hope I am wrong.

Even in the worst case scenario, The Magic will add one good player in this Draft and the future is bright here in Orlando.
