My only real worry really is defensively next to Jameer ... other than that, with Jameer, Hedo, Dwight, and Darko he doesn't need to do much else other than stand outside and hit open shots.
With Jameer, JJ, and Hedo on the perimeter and Darko hanging around at mid-range ... Dwight is going to be tough to double and triple team.
I would have preferred Carney I think but I don't think Redick is a terrible pick ... as long as his back is not a big issue.

Re: The Official 2006 Orlando Magic Draft Thread
The more I think about it, the more I dislike this pick. What exactly is Redick going to provide for us besides shooting and better spacing on offense?

What else do we really need?
Now I'd like to see us grab James White in the 2nd round ... then he can be our defensive SG/SF .. here's hoping ...

Coack K taking over in Orlando? Nah, I don't see it. I'd see Coach K only going to a bigger market NBA team, if any. Although it is a good place to retire.

Stevenson is a decent defender. I think we need a starter who can do both, not one or the other. I just think you can't have a player that is too 1-dimensional and win the championship.
There goes Carney to Philadelphia. Iguodala and Carney seem like a nasty pairing.

Re: The Official 2006 Orlando Magic Draft Thread
Is the Rudy Gay to Memphis deal final yet? If not, that's the perfect trade for us to take. Offer Redick + Vazquez + filler.

Hasn't been announced .. and Houston was supposedly interested in Redick. I don't really understand why Houston wanted to trade Gay for Battier.. but who knows...
I can't keep up with all the trades...

From what I know the Portland trades (Boston and Chicago) have been announced. That's all as of now.

Sorry Lachlanwood32, but I don't see Redick being traded. It seems Redick is hear to stay. What scares me about Redick and this may sound strange, but he almost fits our "needs" almost too perfectly and it makes me nervous about his prospect. The pick just seems almost too perfect. However, as I said, I like Redick, but this pick just makes me nervous.

See I think he only fits one need. I feel we have more than one need though. I also feel we can't be too one-dimensional on the perimeter. We need players that aren't liabilities on the defensive end.

James White ... James White ... I want James White!
Then we can throw White and Redick into a pot, boil for 20 mins, and make the perfect SG for our team.

I'd love to see Shannon Brown fall to us but I don't see that happening.
