say no to harkless... he is a smaller version of clark, at least on offense. im not saying he cant improve (only a freshmen), but we dont really have time to wait. i'd rather go with someone who can make an impact right away. that means either drafting taylor at 19, or moving up and grabbing rivers or ross.

btw, i want green in the second round new kind of beast right there

[londoncollin]

I doubt Green slides down to us in the second. He's probably an early second rounder.

I'd love for him or Jae Crowder to slip to us in the second though. Both are sleepers.

[arkknight1988]

i'm really what i read/see from jeff taylor. he is defensive minded and is nba ready after spending 4 years at vandy. also he can dunk like blake griffin, whats not to like?

[cb1115]

I would be fine with Waiters, Wroten, or Doron Lamb. Harkless is pretty "meh," IMO.

[Noonskadoodle]

Waiters, Harkless, Marshall, Miller, Wroten, & Taylor all are fine by me.

A new MUST WATCH video scouting report from Draft Express on Tont Wroten: It really does a good job of walking you through his strengths vs weaknesses.

Thanks for posting Jeryl Sassers mix tape.

I think we all agree that we need to add a point. He scares me because everyone talks about the talent but nobody is sure about him. Could be a steal or a complete bust. Out of all the points going first round he might have the hishest risk/reward.

ESPN PG ranks for draft.
1 (7) Damian Lillard 6-2 185 21 Weber State Top 10 Pick
2 (18) Kendall Marshall 6-4 188 20 North Carolina Late Lottery Pick
3 (21) Tony Wroten Jr. 6-5 205 19 Washington Mid-First Round Pick
4 (25) Marquis Teague 6-2 178 19 Kentucky Late First Round Pick
5 (34) Tyshawn Taylor 6-3 185 22 Kansas Late First Round Pick
6 (36) Scott Machado 6-2 180 21 Iona Late First Round Pick

I will pass on Wroten. We don't need an average upside Point Guard. Orlando is not going to win a championship with this level of decision making Point Guard. I'd rather draft Ross at SF. Just my opinion...

[Truth24]

i know everybody has a favorite prospect some like Kendall Marshall others like Wroten and then we got Harkless, Rivers, and my favorite Quincy Miller. There is one guy nobody is talking about who I think will be able to contribute right away for us and be a fantastic player in the nba.

Doron Lamb shooting guard from Kentucky who is 6'5" with a 6'7" wingspan and has the deadliest shot in the draft. I know there are a lot of good shooters in the draft but Doron Lamb was the most effiecient shooter of all the draft prospects. Doron Lamb shot 49 % from the field and 48 % from down town and was the big game shooter for Kentucky. I know we all want a someone who is a drive first player but Doron reminds me so much of Ray Allen it isn't funny. The guy is constantly working on offense and does more without the ball the any other two guard in the draft.

It depends on who out there when we pick but I think we should consider Lamb as our pick if some other guys aren't there.

[cb1115]

I like Lamb too. I'd prefer Waiters or Ross if we're going to draft a SG, but if those 2 aren't available then Lamb is probably our best option.

He would basically have the same role that J-Rich has now, and he'd probably do a much better job of, you know, actually making a shot from time to time.

[p0peye]

I liked Wroten workout, looks like he can shoot 3s in the gym.

[Skin]

Is it a consensus that Terrence Jones is unavailable to us at 19?

[Neon1]

Is it a consensus that Terrence Jones is unavailable to us at 19?

He is all over the place. Seen him from #14 - #22.

[arkknight1988]

rivers/marshall/t.ross/j.taylor. i'd be fine with any of these players

[Truth24]

rivers/marshall/t.ross/j.taylor. i'd be fine with any of these players

To bad that three of those players most likely won't be there but I would love if Ross, Rivers, or Marshall fell to 19.

In truth there are so many good prospects right now I would be happy with any of these guys Q.Miller/R.White/T.Jones/D.Lamb/J.Taylor/M.Teague/J.Sullinger(chance/M.Leonard(chance/D.Waiters.

These guys all have a really good chance of being around at 19 and I would have no problem with any of them. My top two choices would be Quincy Miller and Royce White but if Leonard or Sullinger drop they would top those two.

[Scottg247]

We should take the BPA at PG or SG. Those 2 positions are much needed for the Magic. and they need some 1st round talent.
