What about it? I really like this dude. I've been high on him for a while and then he fell to the Raptors so that's even better. I clearly have to continue my trend of getting all the Raptors prospects lol. I can run a lineup of Delon Wright, Norman Powell, OG Anunoby and Pascal Siakam, I just need Jakob Poeltl to complete the lineup. If it weren't for his injuries this guy would have gone way higher, probably inside the top 10. OG is an All-NBA caliber prospect on defense. On offense, you really just need him to hit open jump shots and then you have yourself a Danny Green or Otto Porter type of player. If he develops even more offensively then we're talking about a poor man's Kawhi Loenard or something. Either there is always room on some teams roster for a lockdown defender. Not enough shot to play SG, too small to play forward. |

Yeah thats good size for a SF, but if he can't hit a jump shot it's pretty terrible size for where he will need to be playing to not destroy any offensive spacing his team would have. He's a tiny PF/C in my eyes. I haven't seen anything that would make me think he'd ever develop a jumper of any type. |

His angle on the release is a little odd and his shot is flat too often, but he's not a bad shooter with broken form or anything. You're describing him like he's got the form of Joakim Noah or something. It's not a big sample size but the potential is there for a nice shot. He's also pretty good at attacking the rim and was one of the best prospects at finishing around the net. He's got some skills to develop a solid offensive game. He just needs practice and repetition and he'll be fine imo. He's still just 19. |

He's a defensive player first though and probably always will be. He's got more potential than anyone left though and could be a top 10 or maybe top 5 player in this class if everything goes right. We just gotta wait and see. I was willing to trade Hernangomez for him though. |

I feel the only logical choice here is Justin Jackson. I was debating heavily on taking Kennard, but with Fournier and other guards this dude out of UNC can hopefully fill the biggest hole in our roster either immediately (why not let the guy play, after all) or behind somebody we pick up in Free Agency this off season while he develops. The Sacramento situation almost turned me off, but I kind of dig what that team has been up to after the Cousins trade. With all of that being said, the Orlando Magic are proud to take Justin "Jumpin' Jax" Jackson with the 15th overall selection in this year's rookie draft.  I was hoping OG would be up, but Alex loves taking my babies so I had to think this one over (probably over thought it a bit), sorry for taking so long. |

Haha well then I unknowingly made the perfect deal when moving up to 14 instead of a few spots lower. Lets all hope OG turns out as well for me as Paul George did  |

If you get autodrafted in the 1st round you should lose your dang team. |

I think maybe it would be a more harsh but fair rule that if you don't show up for your pick you don't even get a player. You can pick later but not if a player's been taken in the meantime.
I guess though, for a team like the Kings who kinda need some help, I'd prefer it if they were given something.

Please forgive me guys.
I've spent the last week working as a cook at a church camp.
14 hour days. I'm fine with Wilson. Would have probably taken Giles.
So the auto pick may help me out.

I guess though, for a team like the Kings who kinda need some help, I'd prefer it if they were given something. I'm 99% sure the rule is that you get autopicked 5 picks after your pick. Which gives a penalty, but also a floor to the penalty. But also a chance to stop by and actually get the guy you want. When did that stop being the rule? Isn't it in the OP? Edit: Yep, it's still there. |

The guy 5 spots down could be better than the people that were draft before him. |
