Bamba would go top 5 in this draft... easily. This year's draft class is really, really bad. Would anyone outside of Zion been top 5 last year? Heck no.

Don't trade Bamba for any pick this year unless someone offers a top 5 pick. If you got people coming and offering no protection 2020 picks, then you pick up the phone. UF's incoming freshmen next year alone are equal or better prospects than most of this years' top 5.

Methinks if the Magic do trade Bamba, it will be for a player currently in the NBA and not a draft pick. Not necessarily an established star, but someone who can contribute next season, specifically in the backcourt or on the wing.

for who? Herro? 6'5 with 6'5 wingspan isnt great.

For NAW


NAW is legit 6'6 maybe even 6'7" with 6'9" Wingspan.... he fits the long boi mold very well.
A scoring guard.. never heard of one. :roll:

before the season started, Cam Reddish was a top 3-4 pick, now not so much. we have no idea what UF's freshman will look like after a year.

Sorry, my comment about UF's incoming freshmen wasn't to sell you on us needing them. It was to alert people that players that are top 10 in the class of 2020 have similar talent/greater talent than the people in the top 5 of the draft this year, showing how weak this draft class is.

Lucky #16.

I'd like some shooting at 16. Hell I'd just up and trade it for a vet if we could.

I think if NY gets the first pick they trade Zion to New Orleans for AD. Makes it more attractive for KD and Kyrie to sign.
The hero Orlando deserves is out there somewhere, Dwight was not the one we needed. So we will hunt for him...

With the 16th pick I want Kevin Porter Jr or KZ Okpala

With the 46th pick Joshua Obiesie, Aric Holman, Jalen McDaniels, Markus Howard, Sagabe Konate, Carsen Edwards, Ky Bowman or Admiral Schofield.

Hopefully a good prospect that can add talent and make a difference to this roster is available at those picks.

Chuma Okeke, 6'8, 230 - 7' wingspan that WeHam will love

Tore his ACL against UNC so his rehab will be long, but I think it will allow him to be where we are. We can wait for him to get healthy. Plays with a junk yard dog mentality that I love. Feisty defender... gobbles up steals and blocks. Drives and plays above the rim, but his shot is wet. 39% 3PT shooter on almost 4 attempts/gm.

You didn’t mean 16, because you clearly said 15.

Yikes, this is your second blemish in one night. Drop your excuse for this down below⬇️⬇️⬇️

Were you “typing too fast” for this one too? I figured an Admin for a site would be way sharper than this :)
