OT: Why does everyone mock Smart to Orl?

ive read a couple of articles claiming the magic are high on him, and have brought him back for a second look. cant see them not going for exum if they keep the fourth pick though... maybe suggests that their considering trading down? i also read that the bucks are high on exum as well, but if they were to take him at #2, orlando would be crazy to pass on one of the other top three

They were apparently going to draft him last year had he stayed in. If they believe Smarts best position is PG in the NBA I don't think Oladipo necessarily changes things, although it wouldn't be a great shooting backcourt. 

 

They are very similar players. Seems redundant to me.

If they think Smart can play NBA PG, they likely think they can co-exist. Having multiple backcourt players who are tough, defend, and can rebound isn't exactly a bad thing. They wouldn't be an amazing shooting pair but Oladipo isn't MKG bad at it or anything, they could reasonably expect him to improve to at least a serviceable level.

Dipo plays the PG position right? 

 

Both remind me of undersized SG's who play PG.

    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
