    It would be irresponsible of Henny not trade the pick if we can still get the player we want and pay him less, gain an aless, or dump a contract. Adding a draft pick would be ideal, I'm certainly not arguing that, but any move that puts us in a better position capwise must also be executed

     

    I concur with your point. Well done sir.

    People said the same thing about Harrison Barnes at UNC. That he was too passive and didn't seek the moment. Seems to be doing okay to me. Sometimes guys are just better cut out for the pros and not college because the systems don't fit. Russell Westbrook is another example.

     

    I am not saying Ben will be awesome but the potential is definitely there.

    Otis didn't even want Brook Lopez. You can see what having Brook as your best offensive player gets you. About to lose to a Chicago team without their best player.

     

    I think picking Noel is the smart play simply because the Magic can afford to rehab him suck again and get back into the Top 5 in 2014. Seriously that draft has 5 potential all stars and 3 franchise type guys.

    so he's more athletic than these other athletic guys and he's younger (even though McLemore is a 20 year old freshman so we should be comparing him to sophomores) but his best skill is negated if you simply get up in his shirt and he can't dribble

     

    sounds like a guy you should take in the top 3

     

    i don't think you realize how few wings there are in the league who can't dribble or create their own shots that are more than just role players

     

    Give me 3 wing prospects in this draft better than McClemore boss.

    so I only see 1 reason... athleticism

     

    Nope. Much better shooter. Much better off the catch. Better athlete. Better defender. I can go on and on. Again not a perennial all star but he is not some scrub either. He is way better than anyone else in this draft. Burke, Bennett, Oladipo, Porter. I mean this draft is awful now with Smart out.

    so what separates him from Wesley Johnson, Brandon Rush or Pietrus

     

    cause all those guys were athletes with good three-point jumpers but couldn't dribble

     

    Oh let me count the ways. Again athletically its comical you would compare Johnson and Rush to McClemore. Seriously. Then Wes was 23 when he was drafted and Rush was 22 and coming off of a torn ACL. Pietrus was a fantastic athlete but I do not remember much about him as a prospect.

    he has the skill set but decides to hide in the closet instead of playing with energy and force like Lebron. Waste of Talent.

     

    Lebron just started playing with energy and force a year ago. He basically wasted his incredible talent for 7 years. Also you cannot compare anyone to Lebron because he is in a different stratosphere right now as a basketball player. No one in the NBA comes even remotely close.

    I go to Michigan and have been ridiculed multiple times for being especially harsh on the Michigan players (I wore my Florida gear for the elite 8 game). But Burke is significantly better than Smart.

     

    And please let's stop acting like OkSt was not an exceptionally talented team. They were just poorly coached.

     

    Did you wear your jorts as well or go with the standard jersey and basketball shorts?

    Alright fellas and ladies. We are winding down the season which for the most part has been as terrible as we thought it would be. We have seen tremendous individual growth from guys like Vucci Mane and Harkless as well as acquired the GOAT Tobias Harris. With that said what was your favorite memory or memories from the past season. I have two:

     

    1. Defeating the Lakers of course.

    2. Our game against the Heat we lost 97-96. We had that game if not for the bunk charge call on Tobias Harris but overall that was probably the best we played the entire season with this current roster.
