Hope: Magic get Bufkin with one pick.

Prediction: Hendricks and Dick/Bilal

Dream: Magic lands Podz with their second rounder.


To me, it doesn't have to be addressed with both picks, but one of them should have that in their arsenal.

And our FA(s) should also be good at it.


Yeah, I'm on the same page. I think just one of the picks need to be somewhat capable.

Whether that be Bufkin, Dick, Hawkins, whoever. I don't put Hendricks in this category because he would be primarily a bench guy with limited opportunity to get into a SL role on this roster. Orlando needs at least one other guy that can get good minutes in the guard spots that can be respectable.

It would be weird to have all of these draft options and end up with Ausar, Walker, Bilal, AB, etc. and not have it addressed.

I must admit, although I don’t love Anthony Black, the idea of Suggs Black Dick on the court at the same time is something I really want to see.
If you see something suspicious, say something suspicious.

Even better: Imagine that team going on a 8-0 run and an entire audience of fans chanting that. That is what heaven looks like.

Magic Trade with Utah. 6th pick (Black) for Colin Sexton and 9th Pick


I have mixed feelings about Sexton, but he is cheaper than Fultz and this trade allows the Magic to package Fultz, Suggs, and the 11 for a quality SG, and the resultant roster would be super interesting.

Man.....i know some people here love both these guys, but i have to say that would be very disappointing to me

missing out on Ausar would really suck, thats my #1 realistic option by a wide margin
