His hands are freakish looking. And as far as the dunk totals go, that is more of offensive plays and coaching than the player’s ability. None of the top 5 can shoot from range like this guy. With our anemic 3 point shooting, picking him is a no brainer.

Yeah, I’m there with you. I just want one title. Honestly, I’d even settle for being consistently competitive again.

Hahahahahaha. Life is mad isnt it. He can leave for the Lakers aslong as we win 1 CHAMPIONSHIP in my lifetime! I think we would all take that... The real diehards would for sure!

“Defensively, Smith with his 7-foot-2 wingspan at his 6-foot-10 height has the potential to be an elite defender on the perimeter and in the paint. This allows Smith to guard any position and the ability to play in any defensive scheme with the ability to switch. Smith was a defensive terror in college. He posted 2.3 defensive win shares and had a +3.8 defensive box plus-minus, according to Sports-Reference… Size and desire to defend are aspects of defense that are not taught, and Smith has both of those skills. Once he is able to improve his technique with NBA coaching, he will be one of the better defenders in the league.“ https://orlandomagicdaily.com/2022/06/10/orlando-magic-2022-nba-draft-preview-jabari-smith-will-answer-the-call-for-the-orlando-magic/amp/

Agree …fortunate we got the 1st pick but unfortunate cause it looks to have no star or alpha. Speaking of … https://www.si.com/nba/hornets/nba-draft-2022/watch-shaedon-sharpe-talks-pre-draft-workout-with-hornets Williams’ session was part of a three-workout day for the Hornets that included an individual look at Kentucky’s Shaedon Sharpe plus a group of hopefuls featuring Michigan State’s Max Christie, the University of Connecticut’s RJ Cole, Furman’s Alex Hunter, Richmond’s Grant Golden, France’s Ismaël Kamagate and Gui Santos of Brazil. Sharpe is one of the most intriguing players in the draft because he was an early arrival for the Wildcats and didn’t play this past season. In fact, he hasn’t been in a meaningful game since October. But Sharpe, who patterns his game after Washington’s Bradley Beal and Phoenix’s Devin Booker, said he’s received plenty of positive feedback in his 10 workouts. That solidified his decision to keep his name in the draft after initially insisting he planned on being a member of the Wildcats in the fall. Sharpe is among the select invitees who will be on site at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn later this month to hear his name called and walk across the stage. Despite the uncertainty surrounding him, he could be among the initial seven or eight drafted. There is plenty of curiosity surrounding his talents. “Most of the questions that teams got is how will I come out and play,” Sharpe said. “I’ve haven’t played in about a year, but for me I feel like that’s really not any big deal because as a basketball player once you start playing and getting back into the flow, it (doesn’t) really matter. Just keep playing.” Nice interview for arguably the guy with the highest upside in the draft …He didn’t look intimidated at all …but wow he’s working out for 10 teams …I’m glad to see it …his range could be wide for sure …even if he doesn’t come to Orlando I’m very intrigued to see where the drafts mystery man ends up …who’s gonna swing for the fences.

6'7, 7'0 wingspan. A little skinny but not overly so. Incredible passer for someone who doesn't project to play PG, jumper looks pretty good, not like elite shooter but looks ok and had decent results (36% on 2 attempts per game). Quite disruptive defensively with his length. Not much of a scorer really doesn't have much of midrange game or anything. He's a bet on a pass/dribble/shoot wing. Less upside than Hardy and less polished than Williams as a scorer but a better defensive prospect than either to my eyes.

Yeah, we just have to move onwards. Words cannot describe the Henny years, that was a clusterfreak of almost unimaginable proportions. It seems the power struggle of coaches, Front office people and some inside crazy stuff we will never,ever know about doomed the team. It was Knicks/Kings/Pre Balmer Clippers **** happening. I honestly think the current regime has just had some bad luck and a little bit of lack of self awareness. With the recent trades and all in on a new direction i forgive the past inaction. They seem to have a a formula that i can get behind, if they hit on it. Jury is still out, but i do get what they are trying to do. Just have to hit on a player or two and the good thing is, even if they just keep drafting quality guys they are setting up the team for a big trade. it's coming. I don't see it this offseason. Probably next year.

And huge hands and wide shoulders are noticeably too....at only 19 years old?
