Could make a serious run at Nikola Vucevic.

This is the team to watch for. They gotten off a couple of their draft picks plus Baynes tonight. They are looking to go hard in the paint in free agency.

Hopefully they won't go after Vuc.

Would like KZ Okpala if The Magic keep #46 but doubt he fall that far/Magic keep pick. He was my third choice after Herro and Langford.

KPJ stock dropping is not a surprise to me. One is how well can he improve on his offense. The main sore spot is his off the court issues and his maturity. That's why his stock continues to fall now. Someone will get him before the night is done. Hell it could still be the Magic. After all, KPJ is a scorer who needs to improve his perimeter game and his maturity.

At the same stage of their careers, Okeke probably has the advantage in that regard, but Gordon is a better shooter right now than Okeke.

Okeke isn't a great shooter. He hit 39% of his threes, but he only shot 70% from the free throw line and only hit 30% of his 2-point jump shots.

Okeke shot a lot of corner threes. He often camped there in offensive sets or rolled there after setting a screen. It's important to note that the 3-point line in college was 15 inches shorter than in the NBA (it will be moved to the international distance starting next year).

Good points as always Xatticus.

I think he is going to improve on all of those.

His stroke is pretty good too.

Who did you want at #16?

Another guy I would like the Magic to take a chance on is Tyus Battle of Syracuse. Solid scorer, hit clutch shots, not afraid of the big moment, is a suitable defender in-spite of playing in Syracuse's zone defense.

Miami gets the guy I wanted in yet another round tonight. First Tyler Herro and then KZ Okpala

HELL NO!

I wouldn't be caught dead in one.

I love our RealGM Miami Heat Fans and my non-cyber life friends who are Miami Heat Fans but I hate The Miami Heat.

NAW was my preference; particularly among the players available when we picked. I would've been content with Herro and Langford as well had they been available. The guys I really didn't want were Keldon Johnson, Kevin Porter Jr., and Nassir Little.

I was a maybe on Keldon Johnson but Porter Jr. and Nassir Little were not on my list either.

We will see on NAW. When Herro and Langford were off the board, I felt they had to go best non-center available and Okeke was 2nd or 3rd on my list.
