Counting on getting lucky is not my idea of a good way to build a team, especially when it means you’re sacrificing multiple seasons of potential development.
-
Yep
-
Booker poked the bear. Suns folded like a lawn chair. Sheesh
-
Oh my goodness …are you kidding me ?!?! 30 point lead …Suns fans booing their team in a game 7 ?!?! Luka …this years playoffs is where he’s really gonna make a bigger name for himself than he already has …WOW

Like with "any" lottery....you just need to get lucky. The Magic did their part, let's see if there is a nice reward in the making.
-
Chet should not be selected by the Magic with whichever our pick is....select and trade him, ok.
-
Thanks Trey !!! That kid Dwight was huge at 18....in so many ways, a no brainer to select him over Emeka.
-
I did not know we have the highest percent chance to draft 5th

2022 NBA Playoffs!
A Better DJ & Photographer replied to All Eyes On Me's topic in Orlando Magic Forum
I hate both teams, but I'm gonna cheer for Miami. If the Magic draft Chet I'm trading in all my Magic swag for some Heat swag. In my book, that would be worse than blowing a great pick on Mario or Frannie boy. -
2022 NBA Draft Thread
A Better DJ & Photographer replied to CTMagicUK's topic in Orlando Magic Forum
It's not even close. Dwight already had calves, bis, and tris. Chet has skin and bones. Whoever looks at Chet and visualizes an NBA body, I want some of whatever they are smokin'! -
Haha. Maybe not the most graceful player but he’s a beast indeed. Even improved his FT significantly. Grant Williams’ improvement has also been ridiculous. Game and body. Miami vs Boston is gonna be fire
-
The man was skinny but you could tell the 18 year old could add some bulk. Chet is WAY different.
-
Would be cool to put a pic of Dwight pre-drafted next to Chet's.....

2022 NBA Draft Thread
A Better DJ & Photographer replied to CTMagicUK's topic in Orlando Magic Forum
Even without a medical background, you can't possibly look at this guy and think he's gonna be able to add much weight. I predicted that JI would be an injury magnet, and I predict the same for Chet. I hope we don't draft him. -
His Twitter bio has no mention of basketball, but there is a link to info about his speaking engagements lol.

Orlando Magic: Go-To Scorer 22 OF 30 Rocky Widner/Getty Images Across the NBA, 69 different players averaged at least 17 points this season. That's an average of just over two per team, and 29 clubs had at least one. Care to guess which squad didn't make the cut? Cole Anthony paced this group with 16.3 points while shooting below 40 percent from the field for the second consecutive season. Franz Wagner hit the ground running in his freshman season, and Wendell Carter Jr. took a leap, but neither seems like an offensive focal point. Anyone hoping a healthy Jonathan Isaac could fill the void should probably note his career-high is 11.9 points per game. Oh, and he hasn't suited up since August 2020 because of a torn ACL and meniscal tear, so good luck pining major hopes on him. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2956135-every-teams-biggest-need-in-the-2022-nba-draft Talk about facts …every teams biggest draft need

I'm still holding receipts from when I had to argue that Giannis was actually the best offensive player on the Bucks...

You can't possibly know how much muscle a teenager you've never met can add. That's for medical and fitness professionals with access to testing to judge.

2022 NBA Draft Thread

Skinny would be if he added 20 pounds. That boy is literally skin and bones, and he doesn't have the frame to add much to it. He is going to get trampled and broken in the NBA. -
No interest in getting “bro’d” by a stranger on a message board, you have your opinions, I have mine, he has his own. I just really wish we could see him in the news for something basketball related.
-
“Extremist” sigh. Turn off msm bro.
-
I see what you guys mean …he is skinny
- Last week

Jonathan Isaac out on a press tour advertising his new political book at an extremist rally. *Sigh

If there is a concern moving forward it is the inefficient play at the guard position. The Magic are 29th in offensive efficiency and they have struggled in pick-and-roll actions. Per Second Spectrum, Orlando is averaging 0.87 points per direct play when setting an on-ball screen. That is the worst efficiency by any team over the past five seasons. Cole Anthony averaged a career high 16.9 points but also led the team in field goal attempts and 3-point attempts. A big red flag for Anthony is his inability to finish at the rim. Out of the 132 players who have attempted 200 layups or dunks this season, Anthony is one of three who shot below 50% (James Harden and Nickeil Alexander-Walker are the other two). Rookie Jalen Suggs averaged 27.1 minutes and struggled with injuries and his play on the court. Out of the 206 players who attempted 200-plus jumpers this season, Suggs ranked last in field goal percentage and 124th in field goal percentage on layups and dunks. The offensive woes could change next season with another year of development and Markelle Fultz moving back to full time point guard next season. In only 18.2 minutes per game, Fultz averaged 9.5 points, 4.3 assists and shot 45.7% from three. Fultz was also a big part of the Magic having some mild success after the All-Star game. The Magic have gone [7-11] since the break and have had three sets of back-to-back wins. Orlando also ranked second in defensive efficiency in that span, behind only the Memphis Grizzlies. Moving forward, ownership has entrusted Weltman and GM John Hammond with a blank canvas on building the roster. Both recently inked long term extensions and have the resources to build a competitive roster. https://www.espn.com/nba/insider/insider/story/_/id/33654275/nba-offseason-guide-2022-orlando-magic-their-ongoing-rebuild Just wanted to repost this as you guys are making your minds up which direction the Magic should go in the draft

Given how physical these playoffs have been, I can’t imagine drafting someone who isn’t physical in their attitude and play. It just won’t translate to winning basketball.
