ball junkie 277 Report post Posted May 28, 2022 15 hours ago, Wilbur said: On Sharpe. If I'm a scout for a team draft in the 6-10 range I'm throwing shade non stop hoping he drops. UK needs to get over it. The kid didn't think he was draft eligible. When he found out he was draft eligible and he'd likely go top 10 he decided to take the money and run. High school and AAU games, and even college games are a great predictor of NBA success. What are his metrics and what's the attitude? Sharpe's metrics are freakish. That's not in dispute. The Magic should basically have scouts living with him the next few weeks. He says he wants to be #1, prove it. Prove you've got the drive. Wilbur great point about the 6-10 range and throwing shade …I didn’t think about that …I’d even extend that further …go to YouTube and google Sharpe’s name …every team picking in the top 10 I can find vids intrigued by the Sharpe talent and trying to figure out how to draft him and yes lots of OKC and Houston too…but when I google Chet and Jabari I don’t see that …Sharpe intrigue growing by the day on the internet and YouTube and it will only continue to get louder the closer to the draft we get …still a little less than 4 weeks to go. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CTMagicUK 1,476 Report post Posted May 28, 2022 Khobi Price just wrote a piece about who the Magic interviewed at the combine and who they're hosting for workouts but I can't access the Orlando Sentinel website in the UK if anyone would be so kind as to share the info :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In 1 of the March Madness games I watched him swipe at the ball as a guard dribbled past him on the way for a layup. Reminded me of Vuc. I remember so many games that6 teams had layup drills against Vuc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soul Bro 1,419 Report post Posted May 28, 2022 What’s hard is Paulo is so gifted on offense with the ball in his hands. Meanwhile, on defense, there are so many lapses. The more I watch him, he’s so similar to Blake G, which is a wonderful and terrible thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That Blake had developed all the passing and post game but was a lot less explosive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ball junkie 277 Report post Posted May 28, 2022 While he's(Holmgren) got a strong case as the best prospect in the draft, going to the Oklahoma City Thunder with the second pick may be the ideal fit he's looking for. OKC features a promising core of young talent, led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Josh Giddey, Luguentz Dort, Darius Bazley and Isaiah Roby. Someone who fits the system with prototypical center size is the one thing that's been missing. Thoughts ? …For me he’s basically saying he knows he doesn’t fit in Orlando Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And Chet is a near perfect fit in Orlando. Franz/Chet/WCJ is just about an ideal 3/4/5 skillset combination. Plus the synergy of being very familiar with Suggs since they played HS and AAU together. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
