Really feeling that McLemore will be our pick and i don't mind it at all

MagicFan32 · Post #1364 » by **MagicFan32** » Mon Jun 3, 2013 9:59 am

the technique on the 3 is perfect
he also appears to have a really fast release

you can see where the ray allen comparison comes from he shoots it very similarly, he is going to make alot of 3's in the NBA

Magic have Ben McLemore #1 on their big board.

I would be surprised if we didn't take McLemore to be honest. But then again... Rob has surprised me with a lot of moves.

Upside, elite shooting, great athleticism, and defensive potential is a tough combination to turn down when the draft is as limited as it is.

I would not be surprised if this was the case. This is the best way to go. To me Ben seem like the best bet to become a real good player because he has natural skills, like shooting and athleticism that transfer to the NBA.

I want to know who these "observers" are.

who cares; if true, we can get him with Dallas' pick, if we like him more than the other PGs.

That would be a major win for Hennigan if he landed Ben and Trey..

Noel and MCW for me would be an A+ draft!

At this point I would rather have Tobias than Williams and unless DW can be flipped for something else in a 3way I would pass. AA for #9 I would do in a heartbeat, grab MCW with the 9 and we would be in good shape.

one of Noel/Mclemore and MCW!

People forget how athletic Ray was early in his career too. He threw down dunks like that, in fact he threw a sick one down against us in the playoffs when he was with the Bucks. 8 minute mark....wow

I was just curious how this got to the 138 page mark and no one made a new thread. I will admit I did not read the entire thing so if this was covered already I apologize.

I agree in that we should draft McLemore

Thank you. I've been posting videos and commenting on this for weeks. Ben McLemore is the closest thing to Ray Allen we've seen in 15 years. Ray was very athletic, dunked all the time, and had a great shot. He was a big time player back in the day. Drafting Ben would not be the worst thing in the world.

Ben has a 42" vertical, same as Oladipo to be fair, but that's like JR Smith type stuff right there. Honestly, I'd be pissed if some team took the #1 pick from the Cavs and drafted McLemore, like Minny might be trying to do.

He's probably using the realgm app as I am as it shows 138 pages on my phone as well.

I am very happy with the app as it does not crash every 5 seconds like when I try to access the site via an internet connection when on my phone! :cool:

A lot of people assume the Ray Allen comparison is the Boston Ray. I think those people don't remember or never saw young Ray. Young Ray in Mil and at first in Sea was an explosive athlete and still a sharp shooter, able to drive.

Bucks had

Cassell
Ray Allen
Michael Redd
Glenn "Big Dog" Robinson
Tim Thomas
Rafer Alston
Joel Przybilla
Jerome Kersey
Scott Williams

Amongst many other good players during Ray's time there. Those teams were stacked.

I'm offended Glennathan. lol

I believe that 138 number is from the phone app.

150 pgs on phone app = 100 pgs browswer

I dont remember well, but I think it was 2001 and that team I thought was gonna make the finals but they fell short, but not by much. They lost to Iverson and Philly in 7 games in the conference final. They had the talent to make it and I felt they were better than Philly. They never had that big man defensive and rebounding presence they really needed to make that title run and the next year they just fell apart for some reason.
