Orlando Magic

2018: Mo Bamba
2019: Chuma Okeke
2020: Cole Anthony
2021: Jalen Suggs
2021: Franz Wagner

2022: Chet Holmgren?

Holmgren and Wagner could be something interesting in the future.
Is Jalen Suggs going to be a part of that?

Draft stuff

Jalen Williams looks like he's the big winner of the draft. Hollinger thinks he's a top 20 lock.

This year's combine was especially back since most of the top 60 didn't participate. Felt like the Portsmouth Invitational. Some feel like Jalen Williams could get overdrafted because he opted to participate in the workouts whereas others didn't.

Lakers may look to buy into round 2.

Caleb Houstan may or may not have a promise, which is why he shut down workouts early. Hollinger thinks it's OKC at 30.

Shaedon Sharpe got a lot of shyt for not doing much on his pro day, and guys like Rafael Barlowe are wondering whether pro days won't even be worth it since everyone's trying to hide their information and focus just on game tape and measurables and stuff like that.

I still don't see it with him. He's clearly overweight and out of shape but I guess a team is banking on developing him and his body for a few years.

I don't either. He's gonna wind up getting flowers in Japan for scoring 13 points and getting 4 boards on Ryan Kelly.

 

[Flex Grossman]

Tim Connelly gonna draft the #1 player on the nuggets’ board 2 spots ahead of em now

 

[agpxknt]

I'm fine with either Jabari or Paolo at #1

No relation to Kenny Lofton the former baseball player.
I saw that name and hit the Scooby Doo face.

At 8th, I guess we'll see if Dyson Daniels/Ben Mathurin fall to us.

It's feels like 7-12 are really close in talent but drastically different types of players.

 

[Blackrogue]

At 8th, I guess we'll see if Dyson Daniels/Ben Mathurin fall to us.

The fact he was 18 and putting up numbers in G league and fit right in in the rising stars game among the top young basketball players Is convincing enough that he will be solid. Also breh made a defensive play on achuwa on the block and wom that battle. Talk about switchabilty.

I think the same but idk if this current NBA is even built to punish a player like that.

In the current NBA they value smaller more agile bigs that can move their feet more

Kenneth Lofton Jr. is a fat agile light on his feet type nikka

He’s already in much better shape since the college season
