2025 NBA Draft

[OrlandoDream]

Jase Richardson with the Denver pick (if we keep it) would be a home run.

[drsd]

If the Magic keep both picks, keep it simple and draft Kon Knueppel and then Khaman Maluach. Don't overthink this!

As of March 7th:

Orlando 1st Round Pick: 11th Pick (9.3% chance for a top 4 pick)

Denver 1st Round Pick: 25th Pick

This is the way...sadly.

Honestly, i dont think we’ll use those picks. This team needs immediate help. Weltman might be forced to make a move out of desperation to save his ass

I really hope so...and, with every loss, the value goes up...we might even get some lottery luck as a last charm from the late Pat Williams. Can you imagine if we jumped into the top 2?

That'd be an amazing start to the summer for Weltman to work with.

At the moment, OKC sitting at #7, #16, and #17

Geez, they're going to do something big this summer and they're already awesome and have Topic sitting on the sidelines getting healthy...I think he's a serious asset that they could also throw into a giant offer for...basically whatever they want

#11 = 9.4% for a 4 pick
#10 = 14%
9 = 20%

We are just 1 game ahead of #9 pick …

Just saying. VJ Edgecombe would look AMAZING on this roster.

I think he might be the best shooter in the class. I am really high on him and personally have him in my top 10 right now. I think if the Magic are somehow in the top 10 he, Tre Johnson and Fears would be who we should be really hoping falls to them. I would also have Jakucionis relatively close to them. Also a chance one slips regardless of where they pick, I think if they make the playoffs you are most likely looking at other prospects though.

They are in the range where, if they miss the playoffs, a really exciting guard prospect that can shoot can realistically get to them right now. And this wouldn't preclude them from trading for a guard, I would still look to swap Caldwell-Pope's spot for a guard that can score and bring in a vet PG for the bench. But I would be very excited if we end up with any of those 4 and don't think it is that crazy as it stands.

Egor Demin looks a lot like Deni Avdija.

Kon Kneuppel is a shooter that we probably need.

I’d rather go for a shooter with NBA experience

Kneuppel is going to be a high volume and good percentage 3-pt shooter. He's averaged like 7 and 8 3 pointers a game in EYBL, at a high percentage. He's like Payton Pritchard if he was 5 inches taller.

I like Kon, I just worry that he is mostly just a shooter in the NBA (does have some passing chops). Those guys aren't usually all that hard to find for cheap. Hield, Kennard and Beasley last offseason for example. Guys I listed have more wiggle and handle to be guys you can run some offense through (potential lead guards if lucky) and create iso looks on top of having pretty good shooting potential so I would rank them above him personally.

Would not be mad with Kon though, don't get me wrong. Also not sure he can guard NBA guards and would be more of a longterm backup for us, though Franz can guard the 2 I suppose.

It's that time again! Draft threads and prospect hyping, pinnacle of Magic season.

Kon seems to have wiggle and a handle to me. He was a prolific scorer in EYBL and was leading them at scoring at one point.
