it will be interesting to see what the Magic do with #1. Holmgren appears to be the consensus top pick, but the Magic already have Bamba and Carter.

I mean a lot of people think that Holmgren is a point-forward like Walker. He's 7'0" but he can play next to a center.

I won’t admit to know a ton about prospects, but Jabari Smith seems like a solid option to go #1 overall. Maybe Orlando makes some of their bigs available? Curious if they would sell low on Isaac with his injury history.

I’d go Jabari Smith too. Hard worker, nba pedigree, plays defense, great shooter, still improving. I can see going Chet if you think he is switchable on the perimeter. And Banchero is a good playmaker. Just something underwhelming about him to me.

I am finding E.J. Liddell intriguing. He reminds me of Draymond Green but without the incessant chattering. Looks to be a better shot blocker than Green, but not as good passing the ball. Tankathon has him going to the Mavs.

I think I’m holding out hope that Mark Williams from Duke somehow falls to us. I just want a legit big man to block shots, rebound, and play the PnR.

Don't see Williams dropping. Kessler could drop, but not Williams.
There are a few decent players at our pick that I like. Koloko, Jovic, Liddell. Be happy with any of them.

I definitely don’t expect Williams to drop that far, but a guy can dream.
