That is my completely unscientific opinion. I actually think Gradey Dick will probably still be available at #9 and Wallace at #11. I just hope Gradey doesn't suck, the irony of it with his name would be too much! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain 24 Report post Posted April 8, 2023 I’m putting in my prediction now. We use both our pick and the bulls pick to move up in the lotto, unless we end up in the top 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All Eyes On Me 1,210 Report post Posted April 8, 2023 Been thinking about it, it’s a first world problem for sure, but if we somehow get the 1 and get Wemby…. What do we do?! lol I love Wendell and he’s a huge part of our chemistry, but he’d probably be the fall guy. Unless a HUGE lineup of Fultz/Franz/Paolo/Wemby/WCJ would work? It’d obviously be huge if we stole the 1st pick, but it would force changes that I don’t think any of us would be thrilled about with the current roster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CTMagicUK 1,482 Report post Posted April 9, 2023 6th best odds! 36% chance at top 4, most likely to be pick 7 (30%) Provided the Bulls don't win any play in games the most likely scenario is picks 7 and 12. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mauro Pedrosa 1,032 Report post Posted April 10, 2023 I either want two wing shooters or a wing shooter + a Point Guard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hootie249 293 Report post Posted April 10, 2023 I want one of Walker,Whitmore or Hendricks with the first pick and one of Dick,Hawkins or Wallace with the second pick. My reasoning, if we don't pick in the top 5 i know our Gm's like size,the few top forwards are going to be gone by the Bulls pick. The rest of the draft after pick 8 is chock full of sg/sf type players. Also, i will be the first to say it. If we get the second pick i do not want Scoot but i understand why everyone would. I think he is one of the those players that will take time to be a star and will need the ball in his hands a lot. It would probably slow the growth of the other guys plus he wouldn't work at all with Fultz. The lottery is May 16th. See you guys that day, go Magic! Also i am moving to Denver so i'm about to be a huge Nuggets fan these playoffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Natesroom 197 Report post Posted April 10, 2023 i want F****** shooters. We have been saying it since we drafted AG that we need shooters and somehow we keep drafting sub 30% 3 pt shooters 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have been saying it since we drafted AG that we need shooters and somehow we keep drafting sub 30% 3 pt shooters It's why i am really not interested in the Thompson twins or Scoot. For the posters who only want shooters, how do you feel about Hawkins? Jordan Hawkins just won a national championship,looked clutch,hit 3's and free throws at a fantastic rate and has actual NBA size for a shooting guard. If we are picking 6,7 or 8 and need the best shooter isn't he the best choice? I'm just posing this question because i know people get stuck on mock drafts. We all know every year half the top ten are complete busts. If you like a guy take him when you can! I want guys who complement the guys we already have. That's why i would probably love it if we got Hendricks and Hawkins. Not projected to be stars but neither looks like a project or bust either. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CTMagicUK 1,482 Report post Posted April 11, 2023 It's not really relevant to us because I doubt he was on our radar but Kyle Filipowski returning to Duke is a bit of a surprise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
