JRG- what position is our biggest need? Who do you think we should target in the draft? We don't know when we'll be drafting exactly, but it's pretty safe to say it'll be in the top-5.

Hard to say. Orlando has SOMEONE up and coming at just about every position.

PG - Elfrid Payton
SG - Victor Oladipo
SF - Tobias Harris
PF - Aaron Gordon
C - Nikola Vucevic

Just don't understand how this team struggles so much. They're all VERY young though.

This team needs another very good shooter and someone who can penetrate and get to the line. Orlando was last in the league in free throw attempts and free throws made. They have talent but until they shoot the ball better from the outside they wont be a true contender in my opinion.

Depends on where they pick obviously but D'Angelo Russell would look pretty darn good in Orlando in my opinion.

I think we need a true Center. That way we can slid Vucevic to PF. Kristaps Porzingis would be a nice addition, even though he's not a prototypical Center, but He is 7'0 and has a nice 3-point shot.

Vucevic is more of a C then he is. I think we need a big defensive PF to pair with Vucevic. Again, there is NO reason this team shouldn't be doing well next year.

That lineup above is pretty impressive. I still think if we get the right coach in here, the Magic will be legit very soon.

Fill the PF spot and then have Aaron Gordon as a hybrid 6th man that fills in at SF/PF

Payton
Oladipo
Harris

Vucevic

Gordon

I really think Kristaps could become a good player, poor mans Dirk with more hops.

Looks like we are trying to trade for Thibodeau when the Bulls season is over.
