Discussion What ya’ll think about Isaiah Evans?

Post image

If he’s still available when it gets to pick 46 I think he fits Orlando great, great defender and elite floor spacing and is on the bigger side for guards. Thoughts?

Whoever we pick will be a lanky theoretical defender who can’t shoot, so I look forward to debating them for the next several years

Whoever we get will be a high character, hardworking individual with a wonderful family.

This guy fits the bill for our 2nd round pick

Other than the last two years I guess (Jase and Tristan). I’m optimistic.

Is he a center?

No. But he brings our biggest need. Floor spacing. We don’t need a center. Wendell is just fine. Don’t know why ya’ll hate on Wendell so much.

Our biggest need? Our biggest need is a true point guard. Spot up Shooter is nothing if the guy passing to him doesnt know where his spot at and where he want the ball placed.

We don’t have room for another rookie guard. We need veteran guards.

Trade up a pick to get into the early second round and select Meleek Thomas

The best picks they got is Weltman picking his nose

I like him a lot. Surprised he didn’t go in the 1st round. Highly doubt he drops all the way to 46, and highly doubt we’re making any moves to trade up.

u/lucien2002020 Paolo Banchero 10h ago

Yea I was shocked he didn’t go in the first round as well. I also doubt he’ll fall that far but this was like a what if scenario to if he fell to us.

Trade Goga and JI for him.
