og magic fan

Not that difficult. Take Kuminga at 5 and Bouknight at 8. If not available then take Keon Johnson at 8. Why the Moody love with Magic fans I do not get. I should not be surprised because many people here thought in 2016 after signing Biyombo and trading for Ibaka that the Magic were going to do this twin tower thing and going to be good. No basketball acumen at all

Kuminga and either Bouknight or Keon are shot creators. Get Markelle back healthy to guide these young guys and be his best role as a floor general. We can all nit pick about this and that but this is a work in progress and will not happen overnight. Harris is an afterthought to me. Expiring contract and trade chip at best.

Kuminga is big, fast, athletic, and physical. I have a question. Why do we keep comparing former Magic players and failures to players in this draft? I understand we don't want to make the same mistakes but these are different players and different circumstances.

I suggest they should reconsider. Lol

Who thinks Corey Kispert at 8 is reasonable? Lol. For a change WeltHam should acquire an extra 2nd or two and take advantage of this deep draft.

It worked out pretty well for Detroit. You say it doesn't work but what is the alternative?

Moses Moody might be the most uncreative offensive player I have ever seen in my life. He is basically a spot up shooter. No surprise many Magic fans love him. Keon or Bouknight at 8 please!

So what. Just because Isaac and Gordon didn't that doesn't automatically mean Kuminga won't. Who else are you drafting at 5 that as you say can shoot and score?

He is only 18 and his shot doesn't look that bad. Uber athletic and finishes well with both hands. He has questionable shot selection at times but that can be fixed.

I like both of these players more then most on here. And hey if we are not going to be good the next couple of years we might as well be fun to watch!

Kuminga basically played in the G-league with grown men as a HS Senior. Yes I am disappointed overall but he would still be a great pick with higher upside then anyone on our roster currently.

Cursed!

These next 30 to 60 days are the most important in the recent history of this franchise. I am not being hyperbolic. It can change everything quickly!

Agree!

This makes total sense. We are due for some lottery luck! The statistic Gods have been penalizing us for years for the 1 out of 66 chance in 1993!

Clifford's niche is taking below average teams and making them better by slowing tempo and playing defense. He has no patience for younger players. Bianchi should not be allowed to talk about the Magic on local radio! This is a good job with a bright future.

Of course you do. You are always negative about this new direction. Not shocking!

Bianchi is an idiot when it comes to talking about the Magic. Everyone on here has more Magic knowledge then he does!

I want my FSU guy Sam Cassell!

Clifford was not right for the rebuild. Need a coach who will focus on player development. But as David Bauman pointed out, Alex Martins is still in charge and for what? He is great at sales and marketing but does not need to be in charge of the organization.

Chicago won the coin flip so they are eighth.

Kuminga is #5 on my wish list but to me he is part of the big 5 in this draft. One thing he has going for him is he is almost a year younger then the other top 4 prospects.

Thank you Clippers!

OKC should be stripped of a draft pick. 1-22 since 20-27 and blatantly tanking is so bad for the league! It might not be the best for us but I am ready for either playoffs, play-in, and everyone else gets equal draft odds.

I didn't know that buying Birch out would give us 33 minutes of James Ennis. WTH!
