Magic Win TieBreaker For #16

Post #1 » by **Howard Mass** » Fri Apr 12, 2019 8:52 pm

The Magic just won the Tie Breaker for #16 in The Draft.

This is also good because Brooklyn gets the higher BUT Orlando owns that pick.

I had yelled loudly after they won the drawing.

Here is to even more success tomorrow.

Turkoglu and Vucevic were 16th picks, maybe it's lucky!

It feels good not to be caring that much about the draft and watching prospects on YouTube

If Welham doesn't draft a generational talent at 16 they should be fired!

Wait, so Orlando gets the Brooklyn's pick too?

I can feel it.

The Magic will get a good swing man at #16.

I do like Tyler Herro as an early possibility at #16.

Can't remember where we drafted Courtney Lee but I believe it was after 16.

Part 2! :rock:

I think the Magic is drafting for a player than can play backup minutes rather than an outright project. It would be great if Nassir Little slides, but I think more realistically the Magic can look to KZ Okpala, Romeo Langford, or Sekou Doumbouya.

Okpala might be a perfect fit and has the PBO-Weltman trait of length and wingspan. Plus, boy can he shoot.

I think they will go BPA and probably someone who is not a project but might essentially redshirt a year.

One good thing to note is that BPA at #16 is almost surely going to be a wing in this class. We should be able to avoid the BPA vs. Need debate.
