30Assists 342 Report post Posted June 27, 2013 I kind of get a Reece Gaines vibe from MCW - remember that Reece was a good college player, too. I might take a chance, but like you said: not at the #2 pick, or even the top 10-15. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Neighborhood Bully 266 Report post Posted June 27, 2013 I still don't like the Zeller fit next to Vucevic. There's an internal debate between Owner Michael Jordan and GM Rich Cho. Jordan would like to draft Oladipo, while Cho wants Zeller. There's also the chance that Charlotte and Orlando work out a trade to flip picks and Orlando gets Zeller here. If Len is still on the board he's the pick here. Zeller's stock took the biggest hit during the NCAA tournament as he looked shell shocked in their Sweet Sixteen loss to Syracuse and their 2-3 zone defense. He failed to live up to the preseason hype and much of the time chose to defer instead of taking on the role of the team's star. It obviously took a toll on his draft stock, but a tremendous combine has him back on track. His 35.5 inch standing jump is the highest recorded for a bigman in years. Zeller shows the ability to knock down mid range shots with regularity and runs the floor like a gazelle, which is rare for a 7-footer. Unfortunately his post game did not advance the way many expected, although big men take the longest to develop. It's easy to forget all the positives: Zeller is a 7 footer, he's 19 years old, a hard worker, and similar to Drummond last year, many seem to have overreacted after he failed to live up to the #1 preseason hype.

Catman 380 Report post Posted June 27, 2013 BTW, Noel had 3 blocks in 23 minutes against UF. If he was getting pushed around, he dealt pretty well. Also shot 60% from the field that game and pulled down 6 boards before he got hurt. He was on his way to a double double with 5-6 blocks. With all due respect, never ever listen to a gator homer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tom Ford 9 Report post Posted June 27, 2013 If we take Zeller I will crawl into a hole and never watch another Magic game again. We would be the laughing stock of the NBA. Taking Zeller at #2 is an otis move. On another note, I can't remember the last time I was this excited for a Draft, I think is it crazy to see the big difference between Otis's pre draft weeks and what hennigan has done. I love how Hennigan has brought in a number of guys and looking for the best options. Otis was crazy.. did fran even workout for us or did he just flip a coin. I have a feeling we take Noel is he is available at 2, if not I still see McLemore as the best fit for us now. Also in other news Hennigan is meeting with Hedo, his agent, and the pizza man to discuss a buyout.. the same thing is being said for Al Harrington minus the pizza man Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drain-O 369 Report post Posted June 27, 2013 I highly doubt they would take Zeller 2. Zeller is a move if you make a trade with someone like Minnesota or OKC for more picks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are many, many things we can pin on Otiz, but unfortunately, Mrs. Vazquez isn't one of them. That was all Señor Twardzik. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bauncey Chillups 288 Report post Posted June 27, 2013 The Zeller news is probably coming from the Bobcats who will likely take him 4th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Catman 380 Report post Posted June 27, 2013 Fixed. LOL. :headbang: If we take Zeller I will crawl into a hole and never watch another Magic game again. We would be the laughing stock of the NBA. Taking Zeller at #2 is an otis move. I would be stunned if we took Zeller at 2. I don't really want him at all, but I have to assume Rob sees something there. The scenario for Zeller makes more sense if we took him at 9..and it still would bum me out a little. I'm hoping Noel falls to us at 2 and we buy #13 and grab a sleeper at SG. If Noel goes #1, which I expect - I stand by Ben Mac. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nyce_1 311 Report post Posted June 27, 2013 @ProbballdraftThe Magic are considering a few trades. Minnesota, Portland, & OKC are teams they are most open to trading picks w/ per a source #NBADraft I have no idea who we'd be interested in with #10 or #12. ZERO productivity at work today. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
