An actual shooting guard. I'm in!

Jett is a great shooter, but he's pretty one dimensional.

Kind of a rich man's Caleb Houstan.

We got bigger at guard.

I tried to play off the Black pick. I hated it but knew we still had 11.

Now I’m in absolute shambles.

Just devastated.

I'm kinda surprised by this pick when Whitmore or Dick were still on the board, but who knows. Our last Michigan pick has worked out great. Anyway, welcome Jett Howard. Can't wait for summer league.

The Michigan thing is becoming cringey

Don’t know much about him but but they are saying he is an elite shooter. I’m surprised people hate this. Pretty laughable considering what you all complain about the most…

At least he can shoot. Huge reach. WeHam clearly does not understand how to operate the draft to maximize the value of his picks.

Other teams moving up and down while the Magic stay and take reaches all day long.

This guy isn’t even quick laterally to be a good defender at Shooting Guard.

Cool we got Caleb Houstan 2.0.

As someone too lazy to research draft prospects the overreacting on this board on every single draft night are always hilarious to me.

We didn't get Black Dick, but Jett Black also works for puns.

I can’t believe I went from possible Gradey to old Juan Howard highlights!
This guy better be good or there is going to be a bribery investigation involving Juan s Magic money.

He needs to improve a lot, but if he does, this is not a bad pick at all, just unexpected because he still needs to improve a lot.

Franz Wagner?? What a horrible pick. I'm done with this front office!

Look I asked for a shooter, that sounds like the skill he'll bring, hope he does well for us and lights it up!

Definitely a surprising draft by the Magic. XD But we'll see how it turns out! Welcome to Black and Howard!

Pretty certain we drafted two role players.
