Everyone's board is blown up, but I'm still happy. I kind of want Lively at 11

What a strangely pointless trade to move up one spot when both teams wanted different players.

This pick does not make sense. Why do we have another guard who can't shoot? Y'all I don't get it! We need a shooter are we ever going to address that?

I thought about this a lot today. Watching the Nuggets pick people apart was kind of eye opening. I understand that Black & Paolo are not Joker, but I love watching basketball where everyone is unselfish and the ball moves. The team still desperately needs shot makers.

Magic are looking for success next season. Starting a rookie PG is most likely not going to get them there

I'm hoping one of Cam or Hendricks slips to 11.

When did they start doing this ABC channel style broadcast of not following the draft pick by pick?

It completely ruined the draft for me when it was casually mentioned who the Magic picked. I missed the pick and everything. :banghead:

Is it though? The Magic value high iq interchangeable players the most. Imo Cole does not fit that and is in the most danger.

Yeah, get rid of the one guard we have with a reliable jump shot. Freaking brilliant.

I'm not going to hate the pick of Black, but preach!!! Just have to hope their are wider moves planned now they have Black

Will Utah take Whitmore or Hendricks? run on forwards coming.

A lot of ways to address shooting besides drafts

If we move Fultz we are kinda taking a step-back. Lets be honest, when Fultz sits we really dont have a real PG left. We have a scoring PG and a defensive guard so far.

Maybe we just groom Black to replace Fultz. Roolie PGs arent known to be immediately be good in the league.

Could be insurance.

Magic will not likely pick PG at #11 so it won't be a player at the same position.

I agree about insurance. I mean Fultz probably played the most last season in his Magic career and it wasn't even a full season.
