Obviously would be nice to have the #1 pick and have Okeke and Smith on the same team.

But where does he fit better?

Just saw a mock right after saying Jabari #1 to Orlando

Probably OKC. They have a shite ton of picks in the next couple years too. Could be part of another Harden/Westbrook/Durant type combo there. Okc fan support is way better too

Orlando has a better young roster now than the Thunder do.

But the Magic might also be the only team dumb enough to take Chet Holmgreen #1 overall. Chet and Jalen Suggs played together since elementary school and Suggs' dad was Chet's coach

I just hope Jabari doesn't drop to #3, I fricking hate the Rockets

Lived in Orlando during the Shaq and Dwight years, place was sold out and had fantastic support. It’s really hard to get behind the mediocrity that has happened since Dwight left. Seeing an Auburn player get drafted #1 would be amazing for our program.

I’m guessing he goes to OKC.

I kinda like some of OKC’s pieces. And the first round pick options they’ve got the next few years is insane. I also think they’ve got the right GM to figure it all out.

I’d rather him be at OKC but it would be awesome to see him go #1

Houston is the best situation

ORL rotation is crowded with alot of lottery picks plus Bamba Wendell Carter Jr, Johnathan Issacs and Bol Bol.

OKC has Giddey and SGA, Dort and that is a play-in team with Jabari

A) Jabari is better than all those guys

B) Bamba, Carter, and Bol don't even play the same position as Jabari. Carter is the only one of those three that could play minutes at the 4, but his game is definitely more of a traditional 5.

C) If the Magic were to draft Jabari, they would be moving on from Isaacs. Dude can't stay healthy, he's a dumbass that doesn't fit in well with the locker room, and on top of all that he's overrated anyway.



The Rockets have a few okay pieces

Dennis Schroeder
Jalen Green
Eric Gordon
Christian Wood (overrated)
An elderly John Wall
Kevin Porter Jr

Thats not exactly an exciting roster. I'd take what the Magic have over that

Every Mock draft I've seen over the last 5 months had Orlando drafting Jabari...

And right after the Draft Lottery....

Yeah guy on the draft lottery coverage was disagreeing with someone saying Chet should easily go #1 in his opinion.

Then the actual lottery happened and same guy released his mock draft with Jabari number 1. So I guess Orlando likes Jabari.

Houston has a ways to go but two really good young pieces.

Out of the top 3 I don’t think u could go wrong, personally I thought Paulo had the highest upside with his massive size and handles but selfishly I wanted us to have the #1 pick
