So what now Thief?

What is your gut will we get a second round pick? Who do you guess we are targeting?

Koufos might not stay in the US because he will get a huge contract offer in Greece. DraftExpress said it's dangerous drafting him after 20 because he would make more money in Greece then.

damn internet went out right before the Magic pick, lol. I like the pick. I've felt the Magic should go for a SG since it became apparent (at least to me) that the bigs left are bigs the Magic don't need. They seem to be tweaners or finesse players, or offensively minded players.

But I would still like to see Otis make a trade and get another pick and go after one of these bigs.

I am stoked. I think Lee will be a very solid player. Starter by after the all-star break. We just got the hidden gem of the draft, fellas.

Well a to be expected pick really given Otis's supposed interest shown prior to the draft, but Orlando get one of their needs. With Lee we see the potential for the much needed upgrade at the two position. A well rounded shooting guard that has the ability to inject a little bit more excitement into the backcourt in Orlando, and give some much needed defensive help. Overall I think this is both the smartest and concensus pick for the franchise and the fans.

I dont think we are done yet, I know Otis has been working on a deal that will shock people, not in terms of trading players that we have, but making a surprise move...let's see if it happens...

I have been paying zero attention to what has been going on the last couple months, but I always thought we wanted a guard......Evans and Bogans suck and JJ isn't athletic/big enough to be a starter. Now people are talking about bigs.....which is true I guess but not as much a need as a two guard imo.

I feel really good about this pick too. Lee will help us in a big way.

But we still do need to pick up a big. I'd love to get Dorsey mid second rd.

Man nothing can make you guys satisfied. Don't we need a shooting guard? There's a reason these other big men are slipping.

We just drafted our starter at SG. I am happy. Now go get another pick and get a tough big guy.
