I can't see the Spurs adding 5 rookies to their team this year. They might trade down from 14 (and out of 38), but they would want to push some of the draft capital to a future year...

I like Kon, but if Tre is available at 5, that's who i expect the Jazz to take. Love the idea of moving up to 12 to get Jak.

Hate the pick for Queens. Rather trade down if the 8 picks before us goes as you predicted

Everyone so picky. I got no issues with the Dallas choice.

Spurs trading down might be an option, but taking CMB? People here complain about Sochan, this guy is a far worse shooter. Please God no.

I cant see Orlando drafting another wing that cant shoot from 3. I also dont think they trade #16 for Sexton. they would offer #25.

Would you prefer to trade 16 and 25 for 12 and take Jakucionis? I was kicking that around too.

thats hard. he looks good, but he also has issues from 3 (31%). i guess it would depend on if the front office thinks he could improve his 3 ball. that said, the front office hasnt been able to help Wagner with his 3 ball.

Orlando is in that stage now, they need some impact players, not another long developing player. this offseason will be interesting as their star players have asked for help at the PG spot and the entire world can see Orlando needs 3 pt shooters.

It just feels so real-life Magic to me to sign Tyus Jones, trade up for Jakucionis and call it a day.

well, they couldnt just call it a day. They would have to move Cole Anthony at the least.

Who do you take there?

Going by your board, assuming the trades you listed, I'd say Coward, Fleming, McNeely, Powell are all viable options there. I have no problem with Beringer at 26, fits a need (backup rim protector).
