CTMagicUK 1,482 Report post Posted November 18, 2023 https://www.noceilingsnba.com/p/carlton-carrington-is-demanding-your Carlton Carrington been the biggest surprise so far this season wasnt even in the top 100 on some recruiting sites heading into the season. Appeared on zero mock drafts or big boards I saw. First game in college basketball had a triple double. He's a really accomplished scorer off the dribble and a big PG at 6'5. He's beating up on bad competition at the moment but be interesting to see how he plays as the year goes on. Looks a lottery pick this early though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Juan Nunez is a ultra smart floor general. Not sure about his NBA outlook. I don’t know what year he’ll be eligible, but remember the name Karchenkov (german) just turned 17 and is already playing at a high level, also in euroleague. he’s not Doncic material, but he reminds me a lot of a smaller Franz Wagner. Just the way he plays. He’s going to be a tall SG. He’s 6,7 ft and very mobile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CTMagicUK 1,482 Report post Posted November 21, 2023 Rob Dillingham is super fun. A quick guard with handles and a smooth jumper. He's 6'1 and rail thin so he struggles to finish at the rim and his defense in the league is going to be an issue and, honestly this might discount him from being a Magic pick alone, but I like watching him play. And y'know that whole Kentucky guard thing if you believe in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We very well might trade it... But I think the rest of the league might know how to look at the standings... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CTMagicUK 1,482 Report post Posted November 25, 2023 Between the Magic being good and this draft being weird/bad this draft season is super fun. I have no idea what to focus on since I've no idea where (or even if) we'll be picking, I'm just trying to keep up with a bit of everything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
orlandoholic 134 Report post Posted November 25, 2023 Only position of “need” is a backup center. We aren’t going to be in the position to get that star level SG. So i’m looking at bigs, at hybrid PF/C out there.. Right now i think we are going to draft Almansa or Klintmann or Ware. Depending on where we pick. But in all honesty, i’d trade the pick and even more if we’d get our perfect fit player back. Let’s say for Simons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CTMagicUK 1,482 Report post Posted November 25, 2023 Reed Sheppard isn't even in ESPNs top 100 at the moment but I'd use a first round pick on him. Playing good defense, flashes some good passing and shooting the leather off the ball. Be a bit surprised if he doesn't end up a lottery pick, but if he isn't we should be trying to grab him. Doesn't have the flash of Dillingham or the hype of Wagner but he's actually my favourite Kentucky guard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Before the season I would have agreed with you but WCJ + Goga + Mo + Isaac is a lot of good depth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And although i like Gigs and Mo, they have significant weaknesses that are covered up by smart rotation. They put Goga in the starting lineup because all he needs to do is set screens and block shots. He can’t really do much more. And Mo is an offensive threat but plays bad defense. mil keeping Mo for sure because he’s special in combination with Isaac.. So basically i’d draft someone like Klintmann/ Almansa good defensive players with some good flashes of an offensive threat. That’s if we go the draft route.. i’d still like a veteran behind WCJ. Imagine Vooch off the bench Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imagine Vooch off the bench Not sure I see what you see with Almansa, I like his offense a lot more than I like his defense at present. I also don't think Klintman is a 5 at all really. I'm not really worrying too much about what position we target anyway, outside the lottery in this draft I'd just be trying to find someone who could be a rotation player whatever position they play. Honestly, we might just trade the pick. It's not like we have much opportunity for minutes on this team for a rookie anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
