CTMagicUK 1,480 Report post Posted July 3, 2021 2 hours ago, Soul Bro said: I just reread the scouting reports for the top 12 guys. Honestly, I’m back to really wanting a top four guy. The rest have significant problem/growth areas. For the love of this franchise, I really hope WeltHam figure out a way to get one of the top four guys (assuming they see what most of us see). Now is the time to go for it. It takes two teams to trade though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CTMagicUK 1,480 Report post Posted July 3, 2021 Might be an undrafted guy if he stays in but we've got a workout with him. 6'8 forward who can shoot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Lergier 99 Report post Posted July 3, 2021 12 hours ago, Soul Bro said: If we somehow don’t get one of those guys, sure, grab Kuminga or Barnes or Giddey or another guy who has tremendous upside. (But I really want one of the top four guys). Just read an article from Orlando Magic Daily by Phillip Rossman-Reich (wish I could post it) " ORLANDO MAGIC ALREADY ON MUSCLE WATCH " The are a few videos and pics of Mo, MCW, Chuma and Cole. Try to find it.....Cole is the man. I'm amazed how good Cole is. We are not drafting Jalen Suggs, and if we do, he will be flipped that same night. Our pick with # 5: Scottie (Pippen-LeBron) Barnes.

Jalen Green has moved up and is now #2, Scottie Barnes has leaped up to #5, dropping Kuminga to #6. Bouknight and Giddey have risen up to #8 and #9, while Moses Moody is down at #17. Keon Johnson has actually used that vertical leap to jump over Jalen Johnson, and they are now ranked #10 and #11. 1 Cade Cunningham Oklahoma State PG 2 Jalen Green USA SG 3 Evan Mobley USC C 4 Jalen Suggs Gonzaga SG 5 Scottie Barnes Florida State SF 6 Jonathan Kuminga Congo PF 7 Davion Mitchell Baylor PG 8 James Bouknight UConn SG 9 Josh Giddey Australia SG 10 Keon Johnson Tennessee SG 11 Jalen Johnson Duke SF 12 Franz Wagner Michigan SF 13 Corey Kispert Gonzaga SF 14 Alperen Sengun Turkey C 15 Usman Garuba Spain PF 16 Kai Jones Texas PF 17 Moses Moody Arkansas SG I could see us with this draft if we miss on the top four. As an interesting factoid, Anthony and Bouknight were on the same AAU team in high school. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All Eyes On Me 1,206 Report post Posted July 5, 2021 Just saw a mock that had us getting Barnes at 5 and Kuminga falling to us at 8. It would be hard not to get excited about that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Use 2nd round pick and maybe trades (Harris, Ross, MCW) to get another pick. 5. Barnes 8. Kuminga 33.

It would be hard not to get excited about that I can't envisage a world where Kuminga and Barnes can play together (in fact there's an argument to be made that they both play the same position) so I'm not really sold on a scenario where we get both.

On the other hand, drafting multiple players who play the same position hasn’t seemed to deter this front office thus far Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
