Why the hell wouldn't we trade down if we were taking a dude mocked in the 20s... Our front office has lost me on this draft totally.

Please be trolling (or the Magic picking for someone else). What a disgusting draft.

Maybe we picked for someone else?

Lol this is the Chuma pick all over again. Weltman has no clue how to maneuver a draft board. Experts I trust barely have first-round grades on Howard, and he reaches for him at 11.

RookieStar · Post #831 » by **RookieStar** » Fri Jun 23, 2023 1:13 am

Is it because he is a Michigan player???

Rainwater · Post #832 » by **Rainwater** » Fri Jun 23, 2023 1:13 am

Howard fits what the magic need but he is so one dimensional.

Jett? Ok. I’m gonna have to work to love this one.

The Magic just jumped up by 13 wins last season. They are not looking to go back to being among the worst in the league.

I didn't say they are going to be the worst team in the league, I said they aren't contending anytime soon. This team is massively young, their best player is only 20 years old not close to prime years. Management is not making any effort to add vets to start winning games. And the rebuild only begin two years ago. This team has plenty of team to build if they chose to start Black, lol.

Except teams don’t just go from crap to contender overnight. They have to build up over time. They are not contenders but they absolutely are looking to make the playoffs. Playing a rookie PG is probably not the best move.

Guard who can’t shoot and a huge reach.

Absolutely horrible draft.

Not happy with a Howard pick.
I didn't see it coming, so I really don't know much about him.
