hootie249 293 Report post Posted June 20, 2022 Didn't see anyone post this link yet so here you go. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/34114488/why-chet-holmgren-unique-game-talk-nba-draft Probably the last great Chet article before the draft. Didn't help me at all. Things in the article made me think we have to have Chet, other parts reminded me why we should be worried. Biggest negative was when his father pointed out when he was 8 he is going to look just like me to coach Suggs. His father is 7 feet tall and never made it through all 4 years of his college career. Bad knees. Ouch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CTMagicUK 1,482 Report post Posted June 20, 2022 Obsessed with the idea we could trade back and pick Chet at 3 then use the extra stuff we got for trading back to draft Malaki Branham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I"m going to trust this front office but I just think Jabari Smith is too much the type of humble, high character guy the Magic look for and love to draft. At this point, it makes sense to take Jabari and then trade Jabari for Chet / Ivy / Sharpe if you're high on those guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I definitely understand this thought. But I think there's also a case to be made that the super long analytic darling Chet Holmgren is also the type of guy the Magic look for and love to draft.
