I really wish we could find a way to get Keon Johnson. It’s difficult with our desperate need for offense but I love other aspects of his game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Green 5. Kuminga Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magicman28 295 Report post Posted June 30, 2021 Yeah moving up is going to be extremely difficult but I hope we can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's fine with a head of steam towards the rim but I wouldn't call him explosive by any stretch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CTMagicUK 1,459 Report post Posted June 30, 2021 https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/2945346-2021-nba-draft-buzz-is-cade-cunningham-definitely-going-no-1.amp.html?__twitter_impression=true Worth a read. Only thing that stands out to me for us is that sources expect Keon Johnson to go 'no higher than 8' which implies that either teams have no idea what we'll do or that they've heard we like Keon.

I first thought that but I saw other videos and he can get up on a snap but I do agree it’s not Green or Keon like. Not really concern about that though. He’s very athletic. Nothing like Keon but it’s solid enough. I like everything else he does. Just not sold on Kuminga yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SwishMagic2 4 Report post Posted June 30, 2021 2 hours ago, Jay Magic said: So... I think i am on the Scottie Barnes train. I'd be extremely happy with Barnes and Bouknight Scottie is a Hooper. We are getting 2 extremely talented kids in this draft i am telling you Game changers Would be glad to see both Barnes and Bouknight in Orlando this coming year. I do have a good feeling ab these two picks as well, hopeful that they can make an immediate impact. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hootie249 293 Report post Posted June 30, 2021 Preference in this order. 1. Move up for Green only. Either 5 and 8 or preferably 5 and a future pick. 2. Draft one of the forwards with the most superstar potential. If we get a Kuminga or Barnes they really have to nail pick 8. Need a surefire scorer. 3. Be involved in a Multi team trade where we take back salary, as long as it's not longer then two years. For instance the possible love trade rumors. Current leanings. Green if possible, Kuminga then Barnes. Second pick. Moody,Bouknight,Jalen Johnson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry to any Fournier die hard fan. Are there any die-hard, Fournier fans? Do they really exist? Seriously, I really want Giddey with one of our picks. I think this kid is going to be the steal of this draft. I like what a Giddey/Moody pair brings to this team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
