I'm just going Top 10 overall, because I don't see us drafting to fill a need just yet, so BPA all the way.

Top 10 overall players

Markelle Fultz
Lonzo Ball
Lauri Markkanen
Donovan Mitchell
Dennis Smith Jr
Josh Jackson
Jayson Tatum
Frank Ntilikina
Malik Monk
Jonathan Isaac
De'Aaron Fox


*Adding (kinda hijacking, but couldn't think of where else to put it):

Expected Pick: Smith Jr or Tatum

My Personal (Bold) Prediciton: we come away with Markkanen and Mitchell

Top 3 realistic picks for Magic:

1. Dennis Smith Jr.
2. Malik Monk
3. Jonathan Isaac

Top 3 ideal picks for Magic:

1. Markelle Fultz
2. Jayson Tatum
3. Josh Jackson

Whenever I see Markkanen being mentioned, I lose it. Markkanen screems Vuc softness to me. We need an exclamation point type of guy, someone with balls and a pure scorer. I'm sick and tired of soft kittens, gimme some grit.

I'm fine with either Dennis Smith Jr. or Malik Monk. If we already had a scorer at a near all star level, Isaac would be a good pick up, but let's face it, our offense sucks big time. We need some scoring punch badly and I'm confident in DJS or Monk.

If Markkanen hits in the NBA, you're gonna have a lot of I told you so's to give out. But I think you're nuts.

While we're pretty deficient at every position, I'd say our biggest needs are at SF and PG.

Top 3:
1. Jayson Tatum
2. Dennis Smith Jr.
3. Jonathan Isaac

The more I think about it, there's no way Jackson falls to us. We'd have to trade up. No matter how good a shooter Monk is, all I see is Jamal Crawford 2.0 or another JR Smith. In a draft about picking a superstar, and I mean no disrespect, but he isn't it.

And I don't think Lauri Markkanen is Porzingod 2.0 either. That being said, I hope our FO make a run at Porzingis. I would trade away anybody and any pick to get him. He's a legit franchise player you build around.

People are afraid that he will stop cutting his hair and it will hinder his ability to shoot.
