Groupthink 2023 Mock Draft: Pick #6

[Ed O]

(For the purposes of this exercise as we head to draft day, we assume no trades will be made/the draft order is set and we assume we're a fan of the selecting team.)

Previous picks:

1. Victor Wembanyama (San Antonio)
2. Scoot Henderson (Charlotte)
3. Brandon Miller (Portland)
4. Amen Thompson (Houston)
5. Cam Whitmore (Detroit)

Who do you think Orlando should take?

Tomorrow afternoon I'll set up another poll with the results factored in.

I voted Walker for #5, but am voting Thompson here because of roster fit (I think they're on approximately the same tier).

I think Orlando trades this, as they really need a guard who can shoot. With that said, I chose Thompson for them, as I think he is the BPA, personally

 

[BankTeller]

Ausar is BPA, and I don’t think ORL is a good enough position to draft for fit.

I like Lively because he reminds me of Jarrett Allen. FT shooting is mediocre right now, but he can defend the post, and rebound. Size is there. And he has the Duke acumen behind him. Might be a little early, but it's there to be developed. Which most of these dudes need anyways.
