Okeke will need to find somewhere else to play. He is not going to see many minutes next season unless there are injuries or he has a major breakthrough in improvement... but still, it's tough to see where he's going to get minutes when we have Jabari/Chet, Franz, JI, and WCJ all clearly ahead of him.

You cannot count on Isaac.
Always injured.

Stop it. He should be healthy come the start of the season. He has been unlucky but he's not paralyzed.

According to Pelton's draft pick value chart 31+35=20. I have a hard time believing we could get that. What I would like to see is move 31, 35, and next years 2nd to a team like Miami(27) or Memphis(29), and try and get next year's 1st (heavily protected).

What i am looking for is a very late 1st both this year and next (3 good 2nds for 2 late firsts). Really want Tshweibwe next year. One of the better teams don't have to guarantee 1st round money/years if they don't want to, and get cheap guys they can round out their bench or develop in Gleague.

He will play a few games until a new injury will come up.
He is very fragile.

You're guessing and that could happen to anyone. Anyone can land on someone's foot going up for a rebound/block and roll their ankle.

Isaac did not just roll his ankle.
He had severe injuries.

Guy is intriguing. I think he has more chance of an nba career than the roddy guy.

He has a quick release which will bode well for a shooter in the nba

I read some news that kai sotto did some private workouts for orlando magic. It would be interesting because it seems the management is looking forward to picking either banchero or jabari as 1st pick. If they pick chet as 1st rnd and get sotto at 2nd rnd. We can see a very tall line up for magic in the future.
C: Mo bamba 7’0 / lopez
Pf: kai sotto 7’3
Sf: Franz wagner/wendel carter 6’10
Sg: bol bol 7’2
Pg: chet holmgren 7’0

Maybe we can draft Kessler and Jabari.

if Bamba isn't in the cards, I'm for it.

side note: I'm completely comfortable with Moe Wagner being the backup C.

Still have faith and willing to see this season what Okeke can do. Besides, we don't know what will happen with TRoss and Mo so there is def minutes to be had to prove himself.

it's funny that i'm more interested in this discussion than any 1st pick discussion...the back and forth is quite exhausting
