Wilbur 48 Report post Posted June 13, 2018 33 minutes ago, ?4thewin said: That's such a bad team building philosophy. I'd rather just draft young at 6 and not completely destroy our next 3 years if he sucks. If the guy Orlando drafts at 6 this year is awful, how good are the next 3 years going to be anyway? This team is hitched to the development of Gordon (assuming he is resigned) and Issac. Those two are going to REALLY need to develop if they are going to overcome a Hezonja (no production in the first three years) type pick here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No. If this draft pick us awful we have the next 2 years of draft picks that might also help and an avenue to significant cap space next summer. We can pivot. We have options.

I would not do that because Magic has a good chance of getting a good player at #6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bird in the hand philosophy, personally I think the top of this draft is the best we will see for quite some time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can’t have the same top 3 every mock. Doncic will go top 3 his absolute floor is 4 to Memphis. I’m starting to settle in thinking we’ll be drafting Bamba or Porter. Im starting to lean more towards Porter. I know not everyone loves him but he’s our best shot at a star and at 6, why not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know not everyone loves him but he’s our best shot at a star and at 6, why not? I think Porter gets hype because he had to make very difficult shots in high school. And he had to take very difficult shots in high school because he's got issues beating smaller players off the dribble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With his size though he will be able to shoot over most players regardless like KD does (to an extent). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
