CTMagicUK Posted February 15, 2021 Report Posted February 15, 2021 Since we're likely to have a top 5 pick in this draft I thought we'd better get this topic going. Here are the names that seem to be most in the top 5 pick discussion right now (roughly in the order I'd draft them): Cade Cunningham Evan Mobley Jonathan Kuminga Jalen Green Jalen Suggs 1 Quote
Luke_FfS Posted February 15, 2021 Report Posted February 15, 2021 I predict that when we'll be decently healthy again, we'll still try to be as competitive as possible, and we'll miss the top 5 somehow... 1 Quote
South_Aussie_Magic Posted February 15, 2021 Report Posted February 15, 2021 Good idea. I really want Cunningham, like everyone. But I love that Kuminga is emerging as a slightly similar but less heralded player, and then there's still Green. I think that's 3 quality players across the swing positions in a draft we really need to be focusing on. NBA draft: Jonathan Kuminga making case for top pick - Sports Illustrated I really hope this is all serendipity for us. Bad luck for a good future outcome. If we get one of these guys and they are impact players straight away... at this point i'd be so happy that I don't think I'd even care if we didn't dismantle the entire roster but ended up with a talent so overwhelming in their gravity that we truly had to build around them right away. Might be the only way any of us stay sane lol. Quote

Because hell, I'd be happy with a lottery and a late 1st and pick up wings with both lol Quote
Jason Funderburker Posted February 16, 2021 Report Posted February 16, 2021 Weltman will salivate over Kuminga if we are in position to get him Quote
harley Posted February 16, 2021 Report Posted February 16, 2021 Kuminga and Isaac going forward will be nasty. Would be my dream. Happy with any of the top 5 though. For the make up of our team I would argue Green is best fit as our future alpha scorer. That’s why I wont understand it if we don’t make trades and play the kids for rest of season with the chance to go into next year with a line up of Fultz, Green, AG, JI and Vooch. Quote
CTMagicUK Posted February 16, 2021 Author Report Posted February 16, 2021 I actually really like a bunch of guys in the late lotto to teen range in this draft (Ziaire Williams, James Bouknight, Sharife Cooper, Franz Wagner to name a few) so I'm really hoping we can pick up another draft pick by trading some guys.

South_Aussie_Magic Posted February 16, 2021 Report Posted February 16, 2021 Is this... fresh hope...? :D Quote

Clutch, takes over games. Gained a lot of muscle and unstoppable on fast breaks. The alpha I am looking for. Quote

Well yeah we do need one of those for sure. Sounds good. Cheers for the info! Quote
CTMagicUK Posted February 17, 2021 Author Report Posted February 17, 2021 Cade is so smooth. Praying for some lottery luck. Quote
