    Well, it's way too early to project where he will get picked next year. He could still be a top five pick next year.

    Orlando will settle for Noel!

    Judging 2014 draft class, this can also be good since we may be able to pick him next year since he will fall and we will be a better team entering the 2014 draft

    There's still 6 guys I'll still be happy with. Oladipo and Muhammad aren't bad consolation prizes.

    Agreed. You could even throw Bennett in there as well. He is one of the most talented guy in this draft. Has all the tools but needs to get the mental aspect of the game down.

    Lets hope Stern gives us some loving again and gives us the number 1 overall pick

    The number 1 belongs to the Magic this year.

    If we drop to 6 take Shabazz or Bennett over Len or Zeller. This is taking into account Noel, Mclemore, Ola, Burke and Porter are gone

    Lottery Machine has been updated:

    Best Case:

    1. Magic - Noel
    2. Suns - McLemore
    3. Bobcats - Bennett
    4. Cavs - Porter
    5. Hornets - Burke

    Worst Case:

    1. Cavs - Noel
    2. Bobcats - McLemore
    3. Magic - Burke
    4. Suns - Porter
    5. Hornets - Bennett


    Also, depending on who jumps into the top 3, at #6 Burke is still there for us.

    Wow. I'm happy for Smart. He gets to work on his shooting without the pressure of performing in the league. I expect him to explode next season and really dominant.

    I fear we're gonna land with Shabazz. Doesn't impress me at all. One dimensional player.

    Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams

    Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston

    I would be happy with Zeller. He can score in this league and is a lot more productive compared to the guys ahead of him.

    Hope we don't pick a big Man, we are already stacked on the front court, just look at the jazz they don't have enough minutes for their bigs.

    If we are 6 and Burke, oladipo, porter, mclemore and Noel are gone I want that we pick Shabazz.

    I'm still intrigued by MCW. Not saying he will or won't be worth where we are picking...just intrigued.

    I couldn't believe it when I read the ESPN article. So use to the one-and-done model, but this could screw us up big.

    A weak class got much weaker, and a strong future class got a lot stronger.

    I don't have the stats in front of me and I know it isn't a science, but right now we are sitting at #5, which is traditionally one of the luckier positions to be in to get a top 3 pick. Top 5 in this draft will still land us a pretty good player, I think the "lack of talent" argument is getting a little out of hand. There are some seriously good players in this draft and, I love our team, but anyone we pick will instantly come in and at least be one of our top 4-5 players.

    Smart move by Marcus Smart.

    This to me means we pick wither Shabazz or Burke without a doubt now.

    "I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

    I think you have to add MCW in their too. MCW hasn't made me a believer, but he is intriguing. He has Vasquez size with better length and more athletic. I wonder how he'll adapt out of that zone defense though.
