6'10" 230 PF/C, 164 career blocks in 69 games played at FSU for 2 seasons. Averaged 11 pts and 8 rebs last season.

I've seen a few recent mocks with him going mid-to late 2nd rd.

Wouldn't be a bad pick if Dwight is still around. He can def give some decent minutes when Dwight needs a breather.

Don't know much about him but, if he was around the 49th pick with those numbers, I'd definitely take him.

I'd really like to get Marshall or Teague at 19 and any of Henry Sims, Bernard James, Robert Sacre, Kyle O'Quinn at 49.

I've seen a few recent mocks with him going mid-to late 2nd rd. Draft Express has him going at the 5th pick in rd 2.

He's probably the guy that got the entire scouting department fired.

Henny: "Dafuq?!?! You guys brought HIM in for a workout? You're ALL FIRED!!!"

While funny, I highly doubt that is the reason. Hennigan is doing things his way with his people.

That would be a solid, unsexy draft. But, one that would really help the Magic as currently situated.

5- Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Kentucky

I see a lot of ppl wanting Lamb there on Twitter as well. Just not a big fan of his. I think Lillard will be the better player, but just my opinion.

I agree. PG is the more valuable position to fill too.

Yup our PG depth makes me want to puke right now....(just Duhon)

Lillard is a sniper from 3 whether its off the dribble or catch & shoot, plus he was 2nd last year in FT attempts I believe in NCAA. So he will attack & he is a great finisher especially with his left hand (off hand).

Plus he has underrated athleticism, he will put somebody on a poster if given the opportunity haha

Lillard is rising to the point that I would be pretty shocked to see him on the board at the #8 pick.

Yea, let's just say that if we would happen to take Drummond at 5 (considering the trade was made) I really think Portland takes Lillard at 6.

nbadraft.net has Orlando taking Andrew Nicholson at 19 and Boston picking Marshall at 21. Orlando better not pass on Marshall.

There's a reason he is falling.......

Man I'm getting excited. So far 14 guys have gotten green room invites. Perry Jones, Terrence Jones, Kendall Marshall, Moe Harkless, Moultrie, and Sullinger are on the outside looking in.

Very cool videos of Lillard & the process he is going through now (only 2 episodes so far)

That is the worse draft I have ever seen, they have us passing on Perry Jones, Kendall Marshall, Royce White, Jared Sullinger, Quincy Miller, Fab Melo, Jeffrey Taylor, Tony Wroten, and so on. They basically are saying we are getting Justin Harper 2.0 :lol:

Damn, after watching that I really like this kid. If we did end up trading Dwight I really wouldn't mind ending up with him and another lotto pick.

yep there is a reason.....i'm not as low on him as i was earlier this week but i still don't want him.....broke his wrist then found out he had a fractured elbow.....maybe that's why he's falling....on top of that he's just a specialty player really.....

Yea I have been defending Marshall but it seems there will be better prospects falling at 19, so I would rather us pass.

bummer about Marshall; I didn't know any of that

Did you see him give Brian Shaw a shoutout in the 2nd video? Hahaha

we've gotta give this guy a camp invite, if not 2nd rd draft pick.

JOSH OWENS [nbadraft.net] , [draftexpress.com]

PF - 6'9" , 240 lb

look at these measurements: http://www.draftexpress.com/nba-pre-dra ... ll&sort=16

he has the highest max vert reach in the draft (12'2.55")
- second-highest max vert in the draft (40.8")
- second-highest no step vert in the draft (34.8")
- third-highest no step vert reach in the draft (11'8.55")
he benched more than anyone in the draft (21)
he has the second-largest hands of anyone in the draft (10.25")
he had a faster sprint (3.29) than austin rivers (3.32) or damian lillard (3.34)

... and he's no dummy either. just graduated from stanford, went to high school at phillips exeter academy.
[college profile]

from his game stats, looks like he's your typical inside big-man: attempted 0 threes, shot 57.1% from the field (third best in the pac-12), 62.1% free-throws. averaged 27.1 mpg, but per 40 min, his stats are: 17.1 ppg, 8.6 rpg, 1.3 apg, 1.8 spg, 1.0 bpg, 2.4 topg

those numbers are pretty comparable to arnett moultrie, who's slated to go around top 15-20 range.

Who would you like to see the Magic draft ?
