Re: The Official 2006 Orlando Magic Draft Thread
Is it me or is orlando just picking up.. (borderline) white guys?
Last year it was Diener, who by the way won't play this year now that Redick is the token short white boy shooter. This year Redick and now Augustine.
What's left...
Mike Gansey? Hassan Adams? Leon Powe hopefully?

Re: The Official 2006 Orlando Magic Draft Thread
I have a feeling that Orlando has an unconcious bias towards white players. Now, I'm not trying to bait anyone but we're consistantly drafting white players. Redick, Darko, Augustine, Garrity, Hedo, Diener, Arroyo, Kasun. Granted Arroyo, Kasun and Hedo aren't "white."

Gibson's a good pick, we should have had him.

I was thinking of our current team. It's predominantly white.
Is there that big of a market for white players in Orlando?

Re: The Official 2006 Orlando Magic Draft Thread
Brian Evans, Matt Harpring, Fran ...
I don't really know what the market is ... I would say that the couple of times I've been to Orlando games the crowds were predominently white although that might be the case in a lot of places. But it really does seem that Orlando favors picking up white players. Maybe it is DeVos ...

Re: The Official 2006 Orlando Magic Draft Thread
I don't know what to say. Diaz, Powe, Gansey and Adams are all available.
I'm less than thrilled with Orlando, yet again. Why, oh why is it like this every year? We can't make the playoffs, and we can't make decent draft picks.
