I'm just happy this draft is very wing-heavy.

The Magic needs a starting PG and has two quality forwards, and competence at the SG slot. Please expand.

AG and Isaac are our future forwards, Bamba is our future center, who's our future SG? Evan is really only a starting SG on a team with stars. Ross and Simms are not starters either.

Yes PG is our biggest hole but when you draft one, you typically wait 3-5 years for them to be good.

According to many on the board, Vucevic is the future center for this team. He ha earned it with all those AllStar berths and deep playoff runs. Bamba should get traded ASAP. Who needs an athletic center who has potential to be a top 10 player in this league when we got.... VOOCH!

Kevin Porter Jr is NASTY!!! I'm the captain of his bandwagon. He's got gifts that can't be taught.

Gordon,as usual, plays much better at PF than at that hybrid wing spot. Magic are 5-2 since Isaac is out of SL and Gordon is back at full time PF.

"BIG" played 1 min together as unit, probably because they don't look great together in practice.

Magic, to compete against best teams need high quality two way SF and PG.
SG slot is kind a throwaway in nba. Evan is solid for now.

In 3-5 years, Fournier will be 29-31 years old. Yes it would be great to upgrade (any slot), but Fournier at SG can be a Championship caliber team, assuming he has a 4th or 5th starter's role.

Porter is definitely a guy to keep an eye on for the Magic along with the three Duke kids, Grimes, Langford, Little and others.

I think there are a lot of guys who could help the Magic that look like lotto picks.

I'm high in Darius Garland but I like the idea of Kevin Porter.

Bamba - don’t you have film to watch? Oh, and hold your arms up near the basket and out in the perimeter. It’s called defense

But what are the realistic chances of finding a high quality two way PG and SF? They are so few and far between so we will likely need to choose one or the other. Ideally, if Gordon continues to perform this well at the 4, we could put Isaac as a defensive 3 to menace other elite 3s on some of these top teams (assuming better ankles, obviously). Then focus on a scoring PG (much easier to find than a two way) to make up for the lack of quality production from the 3 spot. ATM, Vuc is our “SF” in terms of production, but if he goes we will need to find production elsewhere - I don’t see Bamba stepping into Vuc’s offensive role though... so maybe a SG like Porter Jr. would be a viable option for the future...hmm..
