I'm pretty sure, in few hours , Hennugan will be seen as a GOD, as he will put up a magical move from his hat .

Ther's too much to trade afflalo on draft day for so less assets.

Just wait.

Vonleh would be the biggest disappointment ever. I'd rather have Smart than Vonleh and I'm not a fan of Smart whatsoever.

If Vonleh had the hype Jabari, Wiggins, Embiid had, you'd want him. Plain and simple as that. Most of you hating on Vonleh are doing it only because you were set on one of the "Big 3" and had never heard of this kid until recently and/or you haven't seen enough of him.

He's 18.

I tend to agree. I love Vonleh's upside and think he is an ideal fit in Orlando next to Vuc.

Not at all. Wiggins has hype and I do not want him. I want Parker or Embiid. Anything else, I'll be disappointed. I just don't like Vonlehs game and do not see the benefit of taking him.

#4: Vonleh
#12: Payton

Unless there is a major free agent signing to come from the AA salary dump, I would walk away from this very disappointed.

Sorry, posts are flying in so quickly right now. It is hard to keep up with what has been posted!

I would be extremely happy with Payton (though i dont believe he will last until 12) but not thrilled for Vonleh. He may turn into a good player, but his a big time project, similar in that to Favors for me. Favors isnt a world beater yet, and he is in his 4th year.

BS. I watched him plenty. I don't talk about players I don't watch. I'm not saying he can't be good but he surely didn't show much stardom at IU.

Are there any stats out there about a player becoming a star in the NBA after his team didn't even make the NIT tournament?

Exum or Embiid is what I believe we will take. Leaning more towards with Embiid with the AA trade.

Not picking on you but,I hate when people judge the value of players based on their team's success or failure. I think the of judging the prospect not the school. If the team didn't do too well, the prospect's play factor in, but shouldn't influence picks.

honest question, why is he an ideal fit? He isnt a shot blocker and many scouts say he has low BBIQ. that doesnt scream to me an ideal fit next to Vuc.

Anyone remember that comment when Ennis was in the playoffs that a GM said he'd rather have Ennis over Irving right now? If Ennis is our pick at #12 that's all I'll be thinking about, and praying that's true. Lol

I don't really know how the Afflalo trade changes anything. There was always a good chance he got dealt this offseason.

Magic_Johnny12 · Post #1419 » by **Magic_Johnny12** » Thu Jun 26, 2014 8:03 pm

Look guys the Affalo trade obviously made us realize even more than we already knew that the Magic organization has absolutely NO leaks and everything "sources" say is just pure speculation so there's no need to be down or disappointed because ANYTHING you could happen from here and the end of deadline and we wont be tipped off until it has happened. Like the JJ trade like the Affalo trade and us picking Dipo.

So there's no need to get hype when sources say anything and everything should be taken with a grain of salt until it actually has happened.

If Woj says it believe it, that is the ONLY person I believe when it comes to basketball rumors.

Here comes Noah Vonleh. Another year of the tank is in order, I suppose..
