Victor, Brandon Miller, Scoot, Amen Thompson are the top 4 picks whatever that order is. The real draft starts at 5 with the Pistons, We won't know who we drafting until Pistons select their choice. The Magic probably have 2 choices at the 6th pick and if the Pistons choose one of the guys, than the Magic know immediately who they taking at 6 as soon as they found out Pistons selection. If Pistons don't choose either guy on the Magic board, Than the Magic could have a tough decision if both of their guys are available at their 6th choice.

This board will blow up whoever we pick at 6 and 11 but it's going to blow up the most in a good way(nothing negative) if we were to draft Taylor Hendricks.

We could go in next year with Fultz as the starter with Suggs at the SG. Then Black off the bench as the PG with Cole as the SG. Black guards the other teams SG depending on the matchup. Not saying it's what we should do but we could do that.

that is exactly what would happens if we draft a guard.

no way FO is gonna be unprepared if the guy they choose is a bust,is injured,ecc.
they are gonna run a 4 guards rotation and see what they have in the new guy and how much Suggs is playable

today definitely reminds me why i dont post on here as often anymore

you don't post here cause letterally two users,three with me,of something like forty-fifty users,don't think we have a Tatum-Brown level pair.

ok

More like enough people with dumb takes who always think the sky is falling and thinking every player has to be perfect or needs to be traded away or run out of town in search of some perfect prospect (ps, they dont exist)

I swear we could of gotten the #1 pick and some people here would be **** on wemby and talking about how we should trade down 87 times because hes too skinny

i would hope the front office has more than just 2 choices. this is how you make or break a franchise. they should have a bunch of scenarios mocked up, trading partners ready on speed dial, etc.

If we draft Black at 6 and keep him I’m done. Just another Elf and Fultz IMO, a point guard that can’t shoot. His 3 point shot is going to get sent 5 rows up into any arena he’s in. It’s a setback honestly and I’d rather just stick with Fultz as much as I don’t believe he’s the right pg for this team. I’d much rather just send the 6th pick and Fultz to OKC to take Josh Giddey off their hands.

WOW!!!! This thread alone made me believe we do have 50 active posters. LOL

Seriously, so many names I haven't seen in a while. The draft really got all of us out of hiding huh?

One of the most exciting times of the year, especially as we might make a trade

Pepe is on record of liking Black, which means he surely can't be Fultz or Elfrid

Yeah... even if we make the POs I think a draft day thread will have more posters than a PO thread.

Also, we have 3 picks so a lot will tune in for a while..
