Man I hope Young falls to us and we get him I am not too worried about it since Hawks want Luka at #3 and there is other teams that do not need a point guard in the top 5 so Young will easily fall to our Magic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he and Bamba are curving the Grizz, the should definitely trade down, shed Parson's contract, and pick Carter. He's not falling, he wasn't top 5 to begin with. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure the Magic see the risk/gain of drafting Young. Man we'd be relevant over night and so much more exciting. He'd put everyone in their roles and Clifford would get so much out of him. We'd really start to turn things around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's the superstar our Magic needs but probably doesn't deserve. If we pass on him I'll be very upset and really question the desire of this front office to build a championship quality team or are they happy to he a middle of the pack playoff team because so far that's all they've been able to build. Hopefully they're drafting with grit and choose Trae 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I cannot believe so m any teams are going to draft centers. They haven't been relevant for almost a decade. I see your point, but these aren't the traditional, back-to-the-basket, over-power-you centers of the past. The Ewing, Shaq, Dwight, type of "power" center is mostly gone. Hakeem Olajuwan, Yao Ming and Tim Duncan sort of started that move to pull the centers farther out from the basket, and the Gasols and others have continued that trend. Ayton, JJJ, Bamba are much more this era of PF/C. They are more like the Rashard Lewis, Dirk Nowitski, Kevin Garnett, Chris Bosh, mold. The tall athletic, combo SF/PF/C that has become this era's mold for the center. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
