ball junkie 277 Report post Posted May 21, 2023 I don’t know how much you guys have been paying attention to this draft outside of Victor but Scoot is thought of as a future superstar talent just as much as Wemby …and you know I love Kelle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The point was that the previous posters were scoffing at Vecenie’s suggestion that Orlando trade 6, 11 and WCJ to draft Scoot …as much as I like Kelle, Scoot is a superstar caliber player himself …I’d definitely consider Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just think Vecenie was offering way to much. I would trade Suggs or Cole and the 2 picks for him. Not Carter Jr though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shine88 73 Report post Posted May 21, 2023 I know people on this board want Austin Reaves ( I want him, too), but I think Rui Hachimura is a more realistic option. He's everything we're hoping Chuma to be, and I think there's still some untapped potential in his game. I know the Lakers want both back, but I think they have a higher priority on Reaves, so I believe they'll be more willing to let Ruin walk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I personally do not want Reaves because I think it is very unlikely he Carrie’s this level of play to his next contract. Hachimura is interesting but i also think he will get paid too much for his role Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CTMagicUK 1,458 Report post Posted May 21, 2023 Kobe Bufkin might be my guy in this draft. I just find it impossible to believe that a 6'5 (in shoes) guard with a 6'8 wingspan that can shoot, pass, dribble, is a terrific finisher at the rim, is low turnover and plays good defense will fail. It feels like he has an incredibly high floor. Then it's about how much he can develop, because despite being a sophomore he's basically the same age or younger than a lot of freshman.

Yeah, he just might be this years Jalen Williams but younger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ball junkie 277 Report post Posted May 21, 2023 Grady Dick and Cason Wallace look to be pegged both in that 8-11 range …if you’re the Magic and both are still there at 11 who you taking ? …There are no wrong answers …this is a forum for opinions and I’d like some Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be honest I'm hoping we continue our streak of Michigan prospects to 3 drafts in a row and take him at 11. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
