We had a long, enjoyable run, and I would like to thank every Orlando Magic fan who contributed to our small community on the web. This message board will be left online as an archive into the thoughts and minds of a group of Magic fanatics who lived through a 21-win season, the drafting of Dwight Howard, and an eventual NBA Finals appearance. You can also visit the original MagicMadness Forum at http://orlandomagic.proboards.com.
Special thanks to our Staff Members: Black and Blue, MAGICMANEVAN, and NYCMagicFan!

Nick Fazekas is the stand out PF from University of Nevada. He was part of the 2004 team that went to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA tourney. After that year (and Kirk Snyder left UNR), he lead the Wolfpack to multiple WAC conference championships and four consecutive NCCA tournement appearances. I don't know much about his actual game, considering UNR doesn't have any televised games except during March Madness. I know my dad and brother went to many UNR games so they would have better knowledge. Any how, any PF who had a leadership role for a strong mid-major team is definately worth a look in the 2nd round. What's the worst that could happen? He doesn't pan out like the other 98%. Edit: I for one was excited when I saw him on NBAdraft.net mock draft. Here's his player profile: http://www.nbadraft.net/admincp/profiles/nickfazekas.html |

PICK Joao Gomes! He's very athletic, shoots well, and he's a good defender/rebounder. He only needs more muscle

Okay, who the heck is Rick Rickert? That's who Nick is compared to. |

What an illustrious history those two picks have. Here are the players selected with those picks from the past five drafts: 2002: 44, Lonny Baxter; 54, Tamar Slay 2003: 44, Malick Badiane; 54, Nedzad Sinanovic 2004: 44, Tim Pickett; 54, Ricky Paulding 2005: 44, Martynas Andriuskevicius; 54, Dijon Thompson 2006: 44, Lior Eliyahu; 54, Hassan Adams Maybe Black and Blue was right when he said we should just bring Marcin Gortat over. <_< |

Oh man, Otis busting out the vocabulary. Behoove?! Nicely done. And he's right, too. There's no real reason to move up unless it's a sure thing that the player you draft will contribute right away. Occasionally, guys who fit that mold slip into the second round, like Paul Millsap of the Jazz in last year's draft. |

We dont need to trade into the first round as long as Otis and his staff do their homework well. A diamond can be found if you look. There is no point in tearing up the team to get into the first round. Maybe we can package our 2nd rd pick together to get a higher 2nd round pick? |

Sounds like Stanko is a name that keeps popping up. As I wrote today in the blog I think we'll go with a guy that slipped in the draft and a Euro. Stanko could very well be that player. |

I wouldn't be disappointed if the Magic drafted Fazekas. John Hollinger of ESPN created a metric for determining NBA success based on college statistics, and he rated Fazekas as a top-10 talent, even though he'll probably drop into the second round. |
