Bauncey Chillups

Looking more like we'll be in the 10-12 range. Langford (who is way overrated in most mocks), Keldon Johnson, Culver or Kevin Porter would be the ones I look out for.

Porter being suspended indefinitely is a pretty strange. Strong belief we'll go with a 2/3 wing since there are a lot of them in this class. I would assume if Reddish slips due to his underwhelming season we'll grab him.

I'll be realistic for a moment and say we'll see some of the same gravity issues with Fultz as we did with Payton. Now Fultz is much more of a natural slasher than Payton ever was but I still expect that team offense will probably be noticeably worse with him on the floor compared to DJ due to the lack of Fultz's shooting. On the other hand, Fultz is the best dribble drive threat the team has had since Oladipo and even at 20 he's a much better finisher than he was. Fultz converts at 65% from 0-3 feet which is better than any of Oladipo's ORL seasons.

This was Fultz 3 months ago

Also do yourself a favor and don't watch Fultz's college highlights. It'll only lead to sadness.

Simmons was basically out of the rotation here. And the first is Top 20 protected lol.

There's a higher chance that Fultz is just broken but this is a gamble that cost nothing and is a good use of assets.

I'm thinking the best out there for Ross or Vuc are high seconds and random bench dudes--basically what the Bucks gave up for Mirotic. Fultz probably requires the OKC 1st at minimum. Man, if Evan wasn't garbage this year he'd definitely be moveable.

Are people really getting bent out of shape for the Magic not acquiring dudes like Teodosic? I get wanting to make a move but come on lol.

Lol thanks though a lot of that was watching McLemore suck so much the previous year within Bill Self's offense and seeing more or less the same thing for Wiggins. But with the disappointment of Wiggins, Fultz and Ingram I put a lot more emphasis on motor/attitude than I used to.

This draft absolutely sucks past the Top 10. Thank goodness we should be above that threshold.

Wrong. Bamba and Isaac have defensive skills + length that demonstrate they can at least be solid role players off-the-bench if they don't pan out. DSJ's only bankable skill is being a good dunk contest participant.

Fournier for DSJ/Wes or Simmons + our protected 1st are the only deals that are equitable. DSJ is only 'intriguing' at best, he's not shown he's a good NBA player in any way: https://twitter.com/TommyBeer/status/1085202014609522688

Don't know about smartest but I know for certain that Laker fans are on average the dumbest among all fanbases.

Love to read NBA Twitter idiots who are pretend to be Silicon Valley techbros thinking the Magic are in such a rush for a marginal at best young PG that that they'd give up Aaron Gordon.

Tobias improved his 3PT shooting a good bit so he's pretty efficient but he's still mostly the same dude aside from that--still not much of a rebounder or passer. Doesn't have to try at all on defense on that Clipper team. Oladipo's improvement was much greater.

Looked at Hezonja's stats and actually chortled out loud. He's gonna be in either China or Europe within 2 years.

Phoenix might have a Ewing Theory thing going on with Devin Booker who's literally the worst defender in the league.

He's doing that on 28 mpg, he's a 20 PPG scorer if he gets starter minutes.

Dinwiddie might require a max. 16/5 on a 60 TS%.

4TW have you budged at all on your let Vuc walk stance.

Be prepared to see the team go 0-4 until the Suns game. Warriors and Blazers are as tough as it gets. The Laker game is maybe the easiest chance to get a win but they play better at home and we embarrassed them earlier so I imagine they'll go hard this time. The good news is that December is relatively easy, lots of games against bad teams.

All length and no skill. He's being slotted to go 10-14 by draft people and I have no idea why.

I suppose we've come a long way if we're upset about a 2 point loss to the team with the best record in the league. Really would like the next one in Denver, they've not looked that sharp the last week and Jamal Murray totally clowned us last year.

It's looking like we'll be in that 10-16 range this year. Just hoping we don't blow it on Rui Hachimura.
