I think they should draft Ben Mclemore and trade Aaron Afflolo for Eric Bledsoe.

Eric Bledsoe
Ben Mclemore
Maurice Harkless
Tobias Harris
Nikola Vucevic

Good young group to grow with Jaques Vaughn.

Also a side note: How many head coaches played or assitant coached under Popovich?
Del Negro
Monty William
Jaques Vaughn
Avery Bradley (when he was coaching )
Mike Brown was an assistant of his
Mike Budenhizer was aswell (?)

If I am the Magic I am looking at drafting Oladipo or trading down. The kid is a winner with a great motor, on such a young team I truly feel he could come in and be a leader.

[BenchWarmerParticipant]

Thought about Oladipo but I don’t know about Oladipo and Harkless. Neither can move off ball (as far as spotting up) and use screen super effectively and spot up for jumpshots. They seem like a redundant pairing. But Oladipo would ceryltainly set a great tone for this young team, maybe try and get a veteran pg if that is the case?

I would consider this a successful draft for the team if we got Oladipo, McLemore, Burke or McCollum whether that is from trading down or just using our pick. Oladipo has shown that he is improving his scoring so if the GM thinks his motivation and drve are going to make him a better player than McLemore i’m with you, use the #2 pick on him, otherwise i say take the risk on McLemore. With his shooting and athleticism he could be an All-Star if he can put it all together. It’s not like we’ll be contenders in the next few seasons anyway

Trey Burke is the choice to make. His game style doesn’t fit the grind of the NBA schedule but he can adjust his style of play to what the team needs. Need 10 dimes to get others involved? Done. Need to play off ball as an off screen shooter? No problem. Last two minutes we need you to take over offensively? Got it. They need a point guard, and more importantly an on floor leader. His foot speed is the only real question as far as weaknesses in his game. I think he’ll sharpen his technique so it won’t be a problem. Have him lead their young core and get in a position to draft a top prospect next year. I think Burke has the intangibles to lead a team, and in a Spurs like system I think he’ll optimize his ability. As log as be doesn’t try to play hero ball next year after being accustomed to winning and risk injuring himself. I think his durability is his biggest question mark as a top draft pick if he doesn’t alter his playing style.

The Magic need someone to put points on the board. Oladipo isn’t the man for that. McLemore makes the most sense. Ironically, I perceive McLemore’s floor being Aaron Afflalo. Mid range shooter who can defend.

Orlando needs offensive weapons. I think they should go with McLemore

that starting 5 you want to be the magics future will never be a contender. i think that entire starting 5 you named are bench players or sub par starters.

Wouldn’t contend next year anyways and a few of those players could easily develop into solid starters for when they do have a chance at competing. Vucevic, Harkless, and (insert draft pick here) all have great potential.
