Going back 30 years they have had a ton of luck in the draft lottery.

Totally agree, as a Zag fan I really wanted him to stay another year or two and hopefully put more focus on improving his body for the physicality of the NBA. He looks like a cheap matchstick waiting to break.

What a great year to have the first pick good lord.^^ At least it ´s not as bad as 2013.
If I was the Magic I would try to trade down a little bit. Maybe OKC really wants Chet Holmgren.
Ultimately there´s no franchise guy in this draft but there´s talent.
I like Jabari Smith. Really good shooter and good switch defender already. Is he a franchise player potentially? No. He lacks ballhandling, playmaking and ability to create his own shoot. But his floor is really high as a 6ft10 lethal outside shooter and good defender. Really good fadeway jumper also. He´s young. And who knows, more spacing in NBA could help him to drive to the rim.

Can't wait to see who Orlando picks so I'll know who will be playing for the Lakers six years from now.

No way. He's a good fit for today's game. At worst imo he will be a starter or a solid 6th man type player

Don't Facebook too much anymore, but I just got on and the Orlando Magic page posted "Who do you think we should take with the #1 overall pick??"
The two top comments:
"Free tacos and Cinnabon's Cause anyone we get we will just groom for another team."
"Someone that won't leave for the Lakers after a couple seasons."
