A Center that can back up Goga & Moritz for spot minutes. Move Carter and this is his insurance. 100% chance we draft Danny Wolf

I see him mocked to the Magic a lot, I do think he would be a good value for where they are likely to pick.
His weakness would make most of our fans cringe though as it is 3 point shooting. He is a good mid range shooter and decent at free throws, but he is a non-threat from 3 right now. Good ballhandler, good vision, pretty creative on offense, good mid-range shooter.
Same take I have with Danny Wolf I have for him-- this team can do worse than adding smart offensive players.
If we draft Saraf, Weltham will lose his job with the pick.
Not to say that he cant be a good player in the NBA, but going to Orlando is the worst place for a player with his skillset to go to.
The space he'll be operating in will be more limited because of our already weak spacing and his skillset overlaps too much with our duo. Added in with his lack of athleticism and operating in tighter spaces will be even harder for him
He's a good passer for his height, but the lack of shooting/athleticism makes it hard to see him as a viable pick.
I mean he drafted Jett and wasn't fired, can't do much worse for where he was picked.
Agree he wouldn't be my guy, but for where they are likely to be picking I think he would be a fine pick. Nobody is getting fired for picking Saraf in the high teens. Also thinking the roster should be somewhat different next year.

Perfect way to regain salary flexibility while adding a young player with upside.

one is a lotto pick the other a very late FRP?? I guess age and potential really does make a very big difference still.

I think Broome will go earlier than people think. Newell has a chance to be there if we finish in the 12-16 pick range which is possible. I think they would have to consider him or Sorber at their spot for a big if they are there. Also if Knueppel or Fears fall to them it would be really hard not to take one of them. I would probably even throw Nolan Traore in that mix. I think those 5 would be very high on my board of guys who could realistically (with some luck) fall to where they pick.

Broome I think will go into the early 20s if he really measures out as 6'10 in shoes. He isn't really an above the rim player and despite being able to shoot from outside, he does a good impression of being an old-school offense big.
Yeah.. Newell is probably in the mid-teens. However, if we are picking there, I think our FO will look for another archetype.

Neither pick will be breaking into the starting lineup, which is where all of this roster's problems lie. They would have to be hitting a home run in the early to late 20's with either pick for it to matter.
Like clockwork, when Orlando gets their roster healthy, they will go on a run of winning negating a lot of the current criticisms. Too little too late for it to matter anyway.
They should just trade the picks. Weltman either makes the safest low upside picks ever, or whiffs completely overthinking anything that doesn't address any possible need. He's sure to **** it up.
Orlando isn't losing games because of a 4th string point guard or a 3rd string Center. They are missing talent to put next to their 3 guys that they will pay obscene amounts of money to for currently middling results.
