16) Brice Sensabaugh
17) Kobe Bufkin
18) Bilal Coulibaly
19) Brandin Podziemski
20) Nick Smith Jr.

Kobe Bufkin might just be the right guy for The Magic. I have him 17th here but the more and more I think about it, it just might be him.

He's rising for sure. My final mock has him #12 to OKC.

With multiple shooter options at 11, maybe we should take Lively at 6?
He's the only big after #1 worthy of top 15 and he'll be gone at 11.

Jordan Poole to the Magic for the 11th & the 2023 second round pick.

That would be a good outcome tonight

Heck I would even do the 6th and the second round pick

He got traded to Washington along with 2 picks for CP3.

GSW gave picks up to move him.

If we're going by ridiculous suits then maybe he's in Orlando since we drafted Paolo with his Riddler suit last year

?s=20

Black's vision as a freshman is pretty special. His feel for the game seems so advanced, and I feel better betting on him learning to shoot than the total super-athlete/non shooter. He is also big enough to play alongside Fultz. I think Gradey is the best fit for this team beyond Scoot, but if we could somehow walk away with a Black Dick combo tonight, I will sleep well.

No ****…that is why I said him to the Magic since the Wizards are giving everything away

I hope Brandon Miller, Scoot Henderson and the Thompson brothers are not all drafted in the first 5 picks. In that situation, we better take Taylor Hendricks at 6, but if Ausar is there at 6, we have to take Ausar.

If you’re WeHam you’re on the horn to the Wizards offering picks and whatever before they fall in love with him.

Poole fits out roster and timetable perfectly

I’m the only person on this board who thinks Franz might be traded within the next 5 hours.

I didn’t watch Franz get drafted and I didn’t watch his first year. Therefore I have no mental ownership like others.

He’s a driving layup artist (which is good), shooter, an introvert (does not motivate introverted Paulo hence the possible trade for Scoot), and not clutch, and the refs don’t respect him on D. He was in a slump. I don’t care what numbers people say, I watched the games. There were many times his brother looked like the more valuable player. He’s a good piece but he’s tradable.

100 percent agree. I dont think Franz + our picks would even be enough to get Portland to bite on that #3. Hes a good young talent, but like you said too many posters have this emotional attachment to him like hes going to be Manu & Hedos love child.

If Portland is sticking with Dame they would run Franz for pick 3 straight up to the podium before Charlotte even made their pick

There's no way in hell they would do Franz straight up for #3. And if for some godforsaken reason they did.. Id pull the trigger instantly because I believe Scoot will be the better player the minute he suits up for his first game.

In the end, I realize I have no control over what the front office picks, what other posters like or dislike.. I'm just going to enjoy the team and trust they have a plan in place for whoever is picked, and cheer for any of the young guys we pick up

Hey now, I don’t dislike Paolo, I just not sure he’s a true number 1… I hope he proves me wrong… I was in the trade back and take Shaedon Sharpe bandwagon…

No it wouldn't. I don't want his contract or attitude on this team.

and thats why many on here arent GM's. you want us to give up #6 or #11. and in the real world, GS had to add 2 picks and took on the corpse of CP3 to dump Poole

Funny how people wanted to give up value for that guy :lol:

I do hope he figures it out but the amount of low BBIQ plays he makes is staggering
