    Love the Andrew Nicholson pick for Orlando. They will not miss Howard when this kid

    Rounds into form. The only real kid in the whole draft who you can build a franchise around. They got a steal.

    St. Bonaventure won me a lot of money last March thanks to this guy

    Sucked that they had that meltdown against Florida State in NCAA tourney though. They had the game in control and then Nicholson started to get triple teamed which ruined their strategy. If only that bonehead for St. Bonny took the 3 they needed at the buzzer instead of the 2, they may have tied it.

    St. Bonaventure could have easily made the Sweet 16

    No question steal of the draft. But hold up there, pal. He is no Howard replacement. Different games completely.

    Did they get an awesome talent, sure. Orlando will miss Superman part deux.

    For christ sake, the kid is only 6'8.5" without shoes. Prototypical PF that would be perfect alongside Howard.

    Gotta say as a Magic fan I was all like "who the f is this guy?". Never bet on Bonaventure games during the NCAA season so I didn't know. Now after reading all the love he's getting and checking his stats I'm starting to come around. Another thing is that he seems SMART!!!! Who'da thunk? A smart bball player.

    Hometown kid. My friend at work went to school with him all the way from elementary, he was all hyped up last night at work, went to his draft party after work and everything. Hope all works out for him in the future

    love the pick, hes not gonna be as good as dwight howard, different position and a more perimeter player anyways. i lived in atlantic 10 country so i got to see this guy more then most. also got o quinn from norfolk st in the 2nd round, a guy i think is gonna be able to play in the nba. very solid draft for the magic.
