whenever i see a guy slip so much in the draft it's usually a personality issue, it's like they had the verbal interview and the gm/coach walk out of there going 'holy ****, that guy is a morAn.'

this is stupid as hell. if they were interested in a center they should've went for hassan whiteside.

 

daniel orton? seriously?

 

Debonair, you have posted 206 times on this board, and I can't remember one of them being positive. I'd say your starting to hit troll status but you passed that a long time ago.

 

I'm not forcing anyone to read why i type

He was the worst player at the draft combine, and it wasn't all that close.

Anyone have any pics of Orton/Robinson in Orlando Draft hat?

 

Or were neither of them in nyc?

Actually Alabi had some great workouts but unfortunately it was inconsistent. He also has a health issue that concerned everyone and was very hush hush.

I have no idea about his individual workouts, but his scores at the combine were pretty bad.

i've heard that his medical issue is either heart stuff or hepatitis b

Orton is a guy who has the tools to develop into a 4 in the NBA, unlike a guy like Whiteside who is a pure C in every way and would be wasted with Dwight on the team.

 

Is Gortat not important?

anyone who watches the Magic understands how important out backup center is. Jesus Dwight has some intesne foul trouble games where we NEED Gortat.

Just because Orton will ideally be developed into a 4 doesn't mean he can't also be our backup center. He's a little short for the position but he has a massive wingspan that more than makes up for any height deficiency he has.

 

Think of a guy like Ben Wallace, who in his prime was used as a defensive stopper at both the 4 and 5 despite having less than ideal size for the center spot.

Don't they usually do shoots before then?

I just meant like actual pictures of them in the jerseys, not playing or anything, summer league they will be playing in those stupid adidas warmups, I thought they might get introduced or something soon.
