Murphy13 185 Report post Posted January 22, 2017 I just don't know about him. Every single draft express article for him this year includes the phrase "while [other first round prospect] got the better of him in the box score, he got the win". That doesn't inspire a lot of confidence He did fine against Leaf today, and got the win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rcHart 1 Report post Posted January 22, 2017 I'm sold on Isaac. I think he's exactly the type of player we need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BN 44 Report post Posted January 23, 2017 It'll be interesting to see where Markkanen falls after combine measurements. He doesn't quite have the physical profile of a Porzingis, and I'm not sure that he fits defensively with Vuch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murphy13 185 Report post Posted January 23, 2017 These are weird times in the standings, our position dropped to #10 in the lottery, but we are now only 3 games behind the #2 spot. Our tough Feb schedule could set us up for the top of the lotto. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's like a bigger and better Ryan Anderson with shades of Dirk. No one is stopping his jumper. Porzingis is not the correct comparison. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Boss 129 Report post Posted January 23, 2017 Go on a bad run, trade Ibaka (nothing personal), Vuch, and in a perfect world Fournier, then put up the white flag, play Mario some more to hopefully see something, get a top 3 pick and try again. Hopefully ownership is happy with this plan because if they aren't, and they still expect playoffs then there is no way Rob blows it up which will be a damn shame.

Murphy13 185 Report post Posted January 24, 2017 Interesting night in the league, it looks like every team (except Nets) that has a worse record than us will win tonight. Including a Miami win over GS, and NO over Cle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's like a bigger and better Ryan Anderson with shades of Dirk. No one is stopping his jumper. Porzingis is not the correct comparison. Just to clarify, I did not intend to suggest that he would necessarily fall downward. But as I previously pointed out, he does not have a Kristaps-like frame and seems to only fit with a Biyombo-type defensively. Really the only way it doesn't become an issue in the frontcourt is if both Vuc and Serge are gone in the summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Neighborhood Bully 266 Report post Posted January 24, 2017 [ Orlando Magic Odds of a top-5 pick: 32.4 percent Chances of drafting a PG: I'm an Elfrid Payton fan, but any of the top-5 point guards in this draft would be an upgrade. I don't think the goal in Orlando is to necessarily get younger. However, I think the Magic are still looking for a superstar. If they land any of the top three point guards, he'll have the highest ceiling of anyone on the team. Best PG fit: I'd love to see Lonzo Ball serving up Aaron Gordon.That's what Gordon needs to take his game to the next level. Those two together would just be awesome. -- Ford If they don't draft a PG: Everything's up for debate in Orlando, including who's making the decisions if Magic ownership is frustrated after what looks like another lottery season. If the mandate is win now, a trade for a veteran such as Dragic-- possibly giving up this year's first-round pick in return, as Orlando did for Serge Ibaka last summer -- is a likely option. -- Pelton http://www.espn.com/...n-pelton-debate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
