Who should WeHam select at 6? (poll)

[Darth Magic]

Maybe its propaganda made by better teams to aquire allstars without top 5 picks

Now it all makes sense

On a serious note we should watch all interviews Young is in. I dont have questions about his skill level which is insane, i have questions about his understanding of the game. If he shows he is smart and team first player he could be one of the best players in the league offensively.

I have been taking note and I haven't seen any issues so far. Aside from the way he talks it seems all good. I have a sneaking feeling that our management want Bamba though. Just a feeling. The good thing is that both Trae and Bamba are friends of Issac so that's interesting. I wonder what they would do if both Bamba and Young are available at 6?

Young's measurements compared to some of the shorter guards of the league...

I just don't understand the big deal with Trae Young's measurements. Just looking at that chart shows that many of those guys have found success in the leauge. Some are starters, and some are all-stars. I just don't get it.

People are trying to be too cool for the room. Trae Young's talent is obvious to the eye and sometimes that confuses people

Who knows with the guys running things right now, they make very odd decisions. Like trading a first round pick for future second round picks or not picking up the option on Hezonja. Not sure any other GM would make these moves.

I haven't been overly impressed with them. It's been a year and haven't seen anything that has given me confidence. I'm disappointed because we still have no idea where they are going with this team. No coach, no trades, no revamped roster. Feels like a year at a stand still.

I agree with you, but I'm willing to give them until the end of the summer to pass judgement. But yeah it does feel like a year at a standstill.

Yeah. I'm not off the WeHam Bandwagon or anything but i'm not blown away by them either. In a recent interview, they asked Weltman if he is taking into the consideration that though this is the 1st year for him, it is the 6th year for the fans of the organization. I thought it was a great question. It's been 6 years since I have seen a Magic team on the floor that made sense. I'm not even talking about a winning team. Just a team that made sense both from a talent fit standpoint and a coaching strategic standpoint. This team has been a mess for years and it's frustrating to hear management talking about evaluating players when anyone with common sense could see that this team is going nowhere.

And my feeling is that the team needed to get as bad as possible as fast as possible. Even if you don't get great value for players, the subsequent High draft pick and development of young players were far more important than evaluating the current talent on the roster. They didn't do that. Plus, they seem to take forever to make moves and that's also frustrating. They took forever to make a trade, forever to sign someone in free agency and are taking forever to sign a coach. I can understand wanting to be thorough but thorough doesn't necessarily mean getting it right. You can take forever and still get it wrong. They really need to show me something soon because this is extremely frustrating to watch.

If only he could drop to us

I'd like to move back if JJJ falls to us. Means Porter is probably off the board, my preferred pick, and I just think 6 is too high for Young. Some team behind us might give up a good chunk to get JJJ. JJJ seems redudant to Issac anyways.

What!??? JJJ will be perfect to us. JJJ, Isaac and Gordon lineup will be insane! Defensively:)

Forget compromising, we'd have more space in our offense thanks to JJJs shooting.

Meh. JJJ could very well be an all star, maybe. I just don't see what everyone sees in him. He moves awkwardly, he isn't smooth in my estimation. His running and jumping is awkward to me, I think he might have knee problems going forward. He didn't excatly wow me at MSU. I think he is a tad overvauled. Think he is top 10 based on potential, not top 5. At least with Bamba I see where the potential is tantalizing and Bagley, Ayton and Doncic all have been extremely productive.

Telling you I think if Porter was healthy he would be in the mix for the top pick. If he slips to 6 he is well worth the risk to me. We can get a PG later in the draft. Brunson would be a solid starting PG. Or take a chance on Anfernee Simmons.

[KillMonger]

point guard later in the draft huh? imo those guards aren't anywhere near as good as sexton much less young and to me sexton isn't much of a point guard anyway much more a SG in a PG body

What is suppose to say? I might be better than Sexton. Ayton and Porter said the same thing. All these dudes better think it. Doesn't mean we should draft them because THEY think they are the best.

[FFBlitzace]

God we really need something at PG, but I really like Bamba. I may change my mind, but I'll go ahead and declare myself a Bamba guy as of right now, May 20th.

lol lets draft nobody then if thats the criteria

[NBAchamps2017]

I’m officially off the Trae bandwagon. If Bamba’s still there at 6, I will be excited to pick him. If he’s gone, Wendell Carter is the guy. A very smart guy and speaks clearly confident .

So apparently the Kings and Hawks at 2nd and 3rd pick pass on Luka? In that case if NO team trades up with the Kings or Hawks than Luka might be falling to 4th pick? Still no way Luka falls to 6?

A really good question for the Media to ask a Orlando Magic front office personnel(Hammond,Weltman,etc) is with the rumor out there of the Kings and Hawks passing on Luka Donocic at their 2nd and 3rd overall pick, Do you have any interest in trading up with that team to get him? Luka Donocic is unlikely to drop to 6 so if you like him and the Kings or Hawks don't want Luka, Do you try to do it?

The size doesn't worry me all that much but it's a legit thing, majority of guys with a combination of a low height plus a small wingspan are not good defenders and with a shift towards larger point guards currently seeming to happen the problem will just become even worse.

From the information we have i would trade for him, but do we have enough assets? 6th pick + 35 pick plus gordon/ross? I dont know if thats enough.

[Skybox]

I like Doncic, but no way do I trade AG AND #6...obviously, a lot of salary would have to come back so who would that be? I don't consider our pick or AG untouchable, but the combined value is pretty high.

Wendell Carter Jr. is a very good prospect and should absolutely be in consideration at 6 along with a host of others.
