It would be great to have Steve Nash 2.0 here. I think it would help us more than a big man. If he becomes a bust, at least we shot for the stars Yeah. I just mean its not out of the realm of possibilities that he ends up among the greatest point guards of all time but it also wouldn't be shocking if he was jj barea-ish. He shouldn't be having this season. teams should have solved him by now. I just have no idea how to project him because there's never been a player like him before.

Has there ever been a player who's produced the way he has, gets drafted and absolutely stinks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J.R Rider was similar. But almost rarely if ever freshmen put up big numbers. And they never do it in big programs. Its usually a small school guy that's just better than his peers but never facing nba type players. Thats why this is weird Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's a freshman who's at a good size school putting up monster numbers. Not just in points but assists as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No there isn't, but the top 5 projected picks look a lot better than the later picks do. There are a few guys that probably could have an immediate impact on our team. We need to get lucky in this draft and get 1 of them or we can expect another year of what we are looking at this season. We have sucked for a very long time and really haven't done much of anything to fix that. I have been a loyal Magic fan since '89 but if we trot the same starting 5 out again next year I am so done with this team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And is the closest thing I have seen to Steph Curry in any prospect. The guy is fearless at pulling up from anywhere and has a very quick release. One of the best PGs I ever played with was only 5'8" but he was almost flawless at getting the ball to guys at the right spot and could shoot lights out from anywhere. His shooting alone won us a lot of games and I don't remember him ever having a bad shooting game. Because of his height he was somewhat of a liability in man coverage but he was excellent at steering his man toward a bigger defender. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
