2023 Orlando Magic Draft Day Thread (#6, #11): THE DAY IS HERE!

[Mule Tears]

I'm still barfing. I don't like Black as a player for us, BUT what's making me barf even more is Fultz Suggs and Cole are all on the record saying how much they love Orlando and how good the organization has been to them. Now 1 or maybe 2 of them are going to get bounced somewhere else and is going to be a nice example to Paolo and Franz on why being "loyalty" means nothing

crap.....now ur making me barf more too...

I'm disappointed but you guys are overrating. Pretty certain Paolo and Franz are aware that this is a business at the end of the day, lol.

Imagine taking those comments seriously, weirdo.

They are on the way to the press conference. It's probably around 3.

Not gonna lie it's gonna sting a little if Ausar and Scoot look amazing against us. Then again as always, it's only summer league.

Someone made a twitter thread about how Magic fan "consensus" never get what they want:

2019 - NAW
2020 - Nesmith
2021 - Bouknight/Moody
2022 - Jabari
2023 - Dick

Really is a bias for specific "shooters" that have failed more than hit so far

if was for fans Moreyball and d'antoni should have won last 5-10 titles.
spoiler:that did not happened.

When people think they understood how the game is played,the game has already changed.

I'm going to do that exercise again where we have to place 4 lotto players in All-NBA/All-Star, 3 in Quality Starter, 4 in Role Players, and 3 in Busts. I'm calling this the "Sour Grapes and I love Suggs more than you" Edition

All-NBA/All-Star
Wemby
Scoot
Amen
Black

Starter
Walker
Hendricks
Miller

Role Players
Cason
Lively
Hawkins
Jett

Bust
Ausar
Coulibaly
Dick

Wembanyama cried and then a redneck on the Spurs court got on TV and started yelling at him and demanding a championship and trying to be as obnoxious as possible as if that was something cool and people in the crowd approving of it.

Wemby walks from that scene first chance he gets.

The Pod Squad with Jett and Black.

Annual tithing to the Devos family. It’s like I am watching Moneyball and Billy beane trading players for cash to make future moves.


PS. In Hogified05's brother-in-law we trust.

It's funny. I was with him at his bachelor party in South Carolina when Poole hit that buzzer beater in the tournament. Ironically enough Moe was on that team. I guess I should just have him give me a Michigan report on the team at the start of next year so I know who we are going to target next year.

That's Marty Smith. I think he was their NASCAR reporter then branched out to college football and stuff. He is a try hard. Cringe.

As I watched the draft on CBS, can anyone tell me what JJ said about our picks when they were being drafted? Or did they gloss over 6 and 11 like CBS while SAS bloviated about someone wearing his suit?

Such a delicious meal. The Magic are back.

It is beyond ridiculous that Orlando will play Black and Howard with F-Wagner and Banchero in 2023/24.

Im in the camp that sees Jett as a backup SF. I can see Black Suggs Wagner BAnchero plus whoever big that isn't injured play together.

Maybe they throw Franz at SG.

Honestly? No.. we all saw that "gimmick click-baiting" lineup of Franz Bol PB plus whoever PG and C that isn't injured..

Unless we always play zone, then Franz more easily than not, gets cooked by the good shooting guards in the league.

I still bet we see that lineup at times. Jett probably won't get much burn his first two seasons unless he can outplay Suggs or Franz which I doubt. May eat up some of Odeke's.

We probably will get to see it especially when the inevitable injuries happen.

Well, espn's and nbadraft.net's mock drafts for next year don't have any Michigan players on them. I guess that means a) the board is wide open or b) we're trading our pick.
