our new acronym could be BIG D if we kept our core and added dennis

Barrett has the superstar potential. Zion is flashy yes, but i can see him being another mold of blake griffin - which isnt bad. the bad thing will be when his knees go after throwing his body into the sky repeatedly begins to wear them down. the only player heavier than him in the nba is boban marjanovic

Orlando Magic: Darius Garland (Point guard, Vanderbilt) Chau: Orlando has stuck to a very particular set of standards in the draft since John Hammond took over as GM in May of 2017, exclusively nabbing players with remarkable wingspans relative to their position. Length is the great equalizer, a way to widen one’s margin for error, especially on the defensive end. The Magic, in theory, are developing a floating fortress of limbs. In practice, they’re much less intriguing. All that length doesn’t mean anything if the ball can’t find its way into the right hands. This could be the year the Magic deal less in the abstract. The heart of their problem is simple: The Magic have the most dire point guard rotation in recent NBA history. In the 6-foot-3 Garland, the team would be going against type, but they’d actually be targeting their biggest weaknesses. Garland is the best point guard prospect in the 2019 class, and a player who mirrors CJ McCollum’s growth and all his strengths and weaknesses, but on an accelerated timeline. Like CJ, he was a scrawny, 5-foot-something guard with undeniable offensive talent who grew into a 6-foot-3 frame. But unlike McCollum, Garland is doing it as an elite recruit, and he likely won’t have to spend four years at Vanderbilt. At some point, the Magic will have to find their point guard of the future, whether it’s through throwing bags at Terry Rozier or Spencer Dinwiddie over the summer, or through the draft. Should they fall out of the top six, Garland would be worth a look. https://www.theringer.com/nba/2018/11/6/18067022/zion-williamson-rj-barrett-bol-bol-team-pairing

this makes me sad haha. i love dipo and am glad for his success, just wish it couldve been here

i love mo bamba

this is basically bill simmons' idea for his entertaining as hell tournament that he's been writing and championing for years

i love bamba, he looks so nice

I love Mo Bamba so much

me three :)

he got a good amount of minutes on the team with tmac that ended up 21-61 and netted us the 1st pick that turned into dwight

clifford wants a great point guard like he had with kemba. this confirms a trae young selection!

not a "sexy" hire but it'll get the job done. (i hope)

penny was my childhood favorite and will always be one of my favorite magic players of all time. the 95 team made me fall in love with basketball as a 7 year old and they're the first real team i remember despite having attended games the year before. fun fact, penny once gave me the *'sup knod* one game when he was injured and I was sitting behind the bench staring at him wishing he was playing (less creepy than it sounds, i was like 9 or so haha) T-mac was penny-reincarnate to my younger self and i loved watching play. he signed a basketball card for me at a walmart autograph sesh once dwight was my favorite during his time here - i loved watching him grow up and i couldnt help feel connected to him as someone close to my age living a dream i always grew up hoping to achieve. and then he went and broke my heart. loved jameer, armstrong, was so sad when they traded courtney lee, Bo, among many others. i had a random affinity for players like mike doleac, matt harpring, jon amechi, mo evans, pat garrity, wanted to like drew gooden so bad but couldnt, haha. i could go on :p
