Especially porter or the next great euro( threw up in my mouth a little) doncic. Yeah as much as people wanna talk about phenom, there's little more phenomenal than leading the NCAA in scoring and assists as a freshman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's actually putting up numbers right now, is leading the best team in his league. Doncic is a beast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fan for too long 2 527 Report post Posted December 24, 2017 Tell me how many great European players that deserved to be a #1 pick have their ever been? Even top five? Xenophobic schmenophobic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Others if we counted euros who played college I'm talking strictly have done nothing but played in Europe. So that's not really a big list if you consider that's roughly 125 picks in the last 25 years. So the chances for doncic are great to be that next big thing. But trae, if he keeps playing the way he is, has a better shot at it. Imho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bauncey Chillups 288 Report post Posted December 24, 2017 Didn't really follow Trae Young too much but he's been a machine the last couple games. Still think Sexton would be a better fit for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Originalticketholder 133 Report post Posted December 24, 2017 Officially on draft mode focus now. Should get a top 5 pick, at least hopefully, and will add another great player to the mix. Debate for that pick will pick up when we know our position. i think it will be hard to pass on Mo Bamba and thanks to whoever put that dunk on this site. Unfortunately does not solve our PG issue. Would be nice to trade for another mid-lottery pick (i.e. Cleveland's Brooklyn pick or Celtic's Lakers pick). But what I really lament is the moves/lack of patience our previous front offices's have displayed. Last night Oladipo had 38 points (10 of 10 FT), S. Napier had 21 points (4-7 Three pointers), M Harklesss had 22 points (2-3 Three pointers). And K. Kuzma (who the Lakers traded for??), who we could have got at pick 25 this year, is called a lottery pick by Durant. Seems former Magic players/missed draft picks litter other rosters all across the NBA. I hope this FO can make the right moves and have patience with the right players. Not easy to rebuild, especially when so many bad decisions occur. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's an outlier performer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we get Trae Young or Sexton I will totally forgive "them" for not taking DSJ. If we pass on a PG again for some long fragile skinny dude that plays a position we don't really need I think I'll retire from being a Magic fan. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
