Timme is only a sophomore if you can believe it.

Kispert is the senior.

Wait what??? Looking at him I thought he is in the same class as those bigs from UVA.

I think I'd much rather get a player like Keon Johnson than Kispert, with our second pick. He can handle the ball, create his own shot, and nearly athletic as Green.

I don’t like putting too much weight into the Tournament, especially in such a wacky college bball season like this yr. It does however call looking at his game under a microscope more so.

His measurables alone with how he played during the regular season will keep him from falling past 15 regardless of how he played this tourney however and my guess is players built like him are going to impress teams in 1 on 1 shootings/drills with teams which will have him back up for stock. I feel confident predicting he wont fall past 10.

Yup if we want higher ceilings then Keon Bouknight Springer are better than Krispert. However, if we want sure 3pt buckets plus a certified 3 then Krispert is our man.

Lets face it Fultz Cole RJ are more known for driving to the rim rather than shooting the 3 and creating space in the set. You kinda want a Krispert skillset to open it up.

Wish the FO would force the issue but i fear we have to much pride for that. I remember Dallas really buying into the tank and that ended up landing them Luka... Some of the stuff Dallas pulled was comical but it was for a reason. Our franchise doesn't know how to tank properly.

Well I dunno.about you but some.of our "vets" actions were also comical in handing out the wins to the other team.

I've been saying this all year as well. He's a box score warrior who just doesn't have much of an impact on the game. I expect that to be even more of the case at the next level. He's Ayton, Bagely, Wiseman, && every other overhyped offensive big of the last decade imo.

Some team is going to make the mistake of taking him over one of the elite guards/wings in this draft. I pray it won't be us. I suspect it will be Detroit.

Detroit? Really? They have no roster at all.

I feel Cleveland is the bottom 5 team to take a chance on Mobley.

1. Cunningham
2. Suggs
3. Green
4. Package both 1sts to move up and get one of 1-2-3?

Maybe that is the idea/plan if needed.

They just spent two top 20 picks on a guard/forward last draft (granted Hayes has been awful) && basically have one center on their roster who is 6'8. If they land the first pick they'll take Cade, but if they stay at 2/3 I think Mobely is their selection.

Many scouts and legit people around the league consider him BPA.

I posted this in the other thread, but it probably fits better here.

I'm not stressing about lottery luck and here's why.

The Magic have *way* more chips to play this year to move up in the draft if the lotto luck doesn't go their way than they normally do and they should take advantage of it if it comes to that.

They don't even necessarily have to trade up to 1 for Cunningham. If they think Suggs or Green are going to be franchise building block type of players at PG/SG, they could move up to 2 or 3 or even 4 if Mobley ends up going 2 or 3.

They have the 2021 and 2023 Bulls picks to offer. They have the 2025 Nuggets pick to offer. They have Ross to offer. They can take back a terrible contract using the Fournier TPE.

There are plenty of avenues to coming away with the guy they really want that don't involve "oh well we got lucky in the lottery".

Create your own luck.

Lottery night is going to be so damn scary. I'll be happy being anywhere in top 3 and with bulls pick not jumping up.
