5 of the 6 sites I check on a regular basis have of picking up Lee, NBADraft.net has us taking Donte Green...obviously because of some mental retardation...


The O-Sen is all over Lee as the choice. He is a local favorite. But I still see more national mocks suggesting CDR. Either way, the Magic are hinted to go with a SG.

Brian Schmitz, in today's O-Sentinel:

Q: Any names at all?

A: As has now become a media-availability tradition, we show Otis a list of players around their assigned pick. He either nods or frowns as we point to them, sort of like a pitcher shaking off or accepting a catcher's signals.

Q: Who got the nods?

A: Courtney Lee, Florida's Marreese Speights, Robin Lopez, JaVale McGee, Darrell Arthur, Jason Thompson, J.J. Hickson and Kosta Koufos.

Q: And the frowns?

A: Georgetown center Roy Hibbert. And, surprisingly, Smith said Memphis shooting guard Chris Douglas-Roberts was "slipping."


Q: Don't they like CDR?

A: Yeah. Otis might have been just throwing us off the scent.


Brian Schmitz' prediction:

Q: OK, genius. Who will the Magic pick?

A: And with the 22nd pick in the NBA draft, the Orlando Magic select . . . Courtney Lee. A fine country singer out of Nashville. Actually, he's a 6-5, 200-pound all-around shooting guard out of Western Kentucky.

According to this new article, though, Houston will be trading up to 18 to grab Lee. But obviously that isn't reflected in this mock draft, so for the purposes of answering the question, who do I think the Magic will draft if he's available, the answer is Lee. But I truly believe he's sort of a combination of talents we already have, so my personal preference is CDR. More NBA-ready, able to make a contribution in areas we lack, primarily slashing ability.

Here's the article about Houston trading up for Lee for those who may have missed it: http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=9216

That's from MitchellUK's post in the main Draft thread.

Oh wow, damn. I was really starting to feel good about Lee. Damn it.
