og magic fan

So apparently all the so called brilliant Magic fans want Barnes and Moody?

You fans seem to want Barnes and Moody right?

Honestly it was an article I cannot find now. Sow here is my point. Kuminga's upside is to good to pass up. I see him as a turbo charged Kawhi eventually. Moody says total bust I would not touch him at 8 I want Bouknight at all cost. We need shot creators!

You have google like I do right? I am not going to find it again to sent to you.

Not what happened but you have already made up your mind you do not like him. Imagine him a year from now with more development in next years draft.

Moses Moody draft profile: Long, decent defender, and okay shooter 43% from the field and 36% from 3 in college. Below average athlete with no first step and shot creation. Upside is a role player at best. Should not be drafted in the lottery.

You obviously did not pay attention to the G League season. If you have google it takes 1 minute.

Who? at 5 and 8. There are no perfect prospects and even when you think there are half of them bust.

Except that Kuminga was basically a high school senior playing against older players. He was the talk of the G-league even over Green in the beginning but injuries made him tail off at the end.

It seems like almost every draft in basketball and football there is one prospect who gets overhyped "Barnes" and a prospect that people try to talk themselves out of "Kuminga". Just be careful with these pre-draft narratives. If we do take Barnes which is in no way a forgone conclusion we have to find a way to get Bouknight at 8 or trade up for him. If you have 2 picks in the top 10 you should at least come away with one high level shot creator.

Exactly! Franchise likes to bend facts to fit his narrative.

One of my favorites Bouknight looks like he is rising. Apparently high 3 level shot making ability is something people value hmmm? My dream draft was Kuminga and Bouknight but now maybe a trade with GS for 7? Ross maybe. GS can't afford to wait for Bouknight to develop.

So do I. I just hope we will not overpay for good or kinda good like we did with Biyombo or Fournier etc... That cap space is precious so don't waste it! I don't care if we have to lose a player or two instead of overpaying. Hopefully they will have a plan to maximize all of our assets with their contract time tables.

Maybe or maybe not. Let's not get bogged down in the details because this is not going to happen overnight. I have been a die hard fan since 89 so my perspective is not going to be tainted by a sample size of the last 10 years.

I don't understand Magic fans disdain for this guy. He is amazing. So we didn't get in the top 4 of perceived prospects. Get over it!

My dream next year is Fultz, K. Johnson, Minga, (Yes that will be his nickname calling it right now) , Hampton, Isaac, Carter, Bamba, Okeke, Anthony. Wow that could possibly be 9 deep of young talented players. Along with Ross, Harris, draft capital, salary cap room, and potential young players for trades. We are really set up for a great future let's hope they make it work!

He has high level shot making ability also. I get he did not shoot that well in the G league but the mechanics are not broken. Another year of development and he would almost definitely be a top 3 pick next year. We can now possibly get him at 5.

I like both Barnes and Kuminga. But hands down without a doubt Kuminga is the pick at 5 if he is available. He reclassified and played as a high schooler in the G league. Does not turn 19 until October. People are missing the boat on him. Yes he is raw but he has time to develop.

They have the #1 pick by tanking. That was my point.

Yep. Right there with you. I can't understand why other people can't see that?

I saw that also and would like that draft. Then I realized it was by Fox Sports resident Lebron fanboy Jason McIntyre seen on the Herd. He is a complete moron trying to get attention!

It means you are not a Keon Johnson fan.

It makes perfect sense you would think that.

It is a very good comparison. Donovan was not top 5 regarded so at 8 we have to find a gem.

His shot is not broken and is an amazing athlete. https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/donovan-mitchell-1.html
