That said--and I'm not anticipating this occurring--somehow landing Scoot to pair with Franz and Paolo would make me preposterously happy.

Regardless, should be an interesting draft.


Great to see you back!

Anything can happen. I do not think The Magic take players that play the same position if they keep #6 and #11. I hope they leave this Draft with Dick, Whitmore or Ausar Thompson. Could also go big at 6 or take Black and get a 2/3 or big later.

I would not mind if The Magic dealt 6 or 11 for 1sts in future years when they get good and have to pay the stars. At #36, maybe trade down, pick up a future 2nd and get a pick in 40's/ 50's for a 2-Way Slot

Likes (in order, not including Vic, Scoot, or Miller, even though I'm not actually super high on Miller): Amen Thompson, Taylor Hendricks, Gradey Dick, Jordan Hawkins, Kobe Bufkin

Dislikes: Cam Whitmore, Jarace Walker (role player ceiling IMO), Dereck Lively

Neutral or just flat out can't decide: Ausar Thompson, Anthony Black, Bilal Coulibaly


Note: I acknowledge that Dick aspires to be a role player too, but he's a guy that's in play at 11, whereas Walker would seemingly have to be taken at 6. So that impacts the evaluation.


No Keyonte? Keyonte island is such a lonely place.


Don't worry. Im still here!!!


Uh oh. Keyonte just got given the Bouknight kiss. :wink:

Chess is on par with the Magic as far as personal obsessions go.

Give us your best combination :D


If they go big at #6, Hendricks and then Dick at #11.

Let me just say that their are a lot of good swingman in this Draft and Bufkin is really growing on me. I think he might be the SG this team needs.

Anything can happen tonight.

There is a lot of wing depth in this Draft and maybe get your swing like Dick or Bufkin later. George, Hawkins and others also good options.

You have mentioned this a few times. I hate this idea because with our bad luck I foresee us trading an 11 this year for what winds up a 25th pick in a year or two. I don’t think you pass on lottery picks. That is why trades protect them.

It would be multiple firsts that have chance to be good.

Don't trade it though just to trade it as there is talent here.
