MagicMan1979 103 Report post Posted June 3, 2022 54 minutes ago, MagicFanDan said: I’ve gone back and watched several full games from Chet and Jabari so far. I choose games where they played against NBA level talent. Not specially ranked teams, but teams that had NBA level talent at their positions. I plan to do this for Paolo and Ivey as well. I plan to do a full review of each prospect, but my biggest take away to date is Auburns guards suck. They are always looking for their own shot, unless it’s a designed play. I’ve counted 1 open shot for Jabari off of an assist so far. Their ball moment was horrendous. Man you got that right. I watched 4-5 of Auburns games and their guards were really bad. I really think Smith playing with NBA Guards will make him even better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soul Bro 1,419 Report post Posted June 3, 2022 1 hour ago, DestroidMengars said: I get wanting to look beyond the 3 bigs, as bigs are usually overvalued in drafts: "So … do you want to pick from the bin that provided 27 All-Stars or the bin that gave us three?" https://theathletic.com/3317217/2022/05/18/nba-draft-2022-top-20-prospects/ I'm just curious why all the love for picking a non-big seems to be for Sharpe and no one seems to want Ivey? For me Ivey’s shot and shot form are pretty rough. I love his aggressiveness and speed but I wish his outside shot was cleaner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soul Bro 1,419 Report post Posted June 3, 2022 On a side note, I think Murray is a legit sleeper pick if we move down. He checks so many Magic boxes, and WeltHam have been scouting him for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed, his 42% 3 point percentage is remarkable considering the guard play he dealt with. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MagicFanDan 121 Report post Posted June 3, 2022 Potentially a hot take, but Chet is Victor Wembanyama lite lite. Victor is the real Unicorn! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea but we don't have the #1 pick in the 2023 draft. And if we did people would complain that Victor was too skinny and we should draft someone else (probably Scoot Henderson tbh who I'm not going to lie does look to be an elite guard prospect).

Allow me to clarify, I wasn’t saying don’t draft Chet because of Victor. I believe Welham should draft whoever is BPA on their board. It’s an ill-advised strategy to not draft best player available when you were as bad as we were last year. I’m just saying Victor is better than Chet which is pretty wild since most analyst consider Chet the number 1 prospect. Some even consider him a generational talent. In regards to Scoot, I know the name, but haven’t dug into his game yet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
