I like the Jalen Suggs Derrick White comp. Jalen Suggs doesn't get enough credit
16:03 he could be used like a Julius Randle ( don’t cook me he’s better obviously) , he would take some pressure off of Lamelo playmaking for sure and like yall said we can utilize him in the post . We’d be a playoff team for sure maybe sneak away with a conference appearance. And if he develops a jumper , it’s a wrap , I’d do a trade for him for sure especially if we don’t land in the top 5
Jalen Suggs is best if you want to win vs Anthony Black. He is the perfect 3rd option on a winning team.
Paolo Banchero has been very disappointing
We're young with no veteran leadership for real and with Paolo his issue is he hasn't figured out how to elevate others around him without taking away from his own game. Once he figures that out he'll look like the guy we know he can be. I'm not getting off of Paolo, Franz, AB or Suggs. They just need to figure it out
Idk why yall so suprised I was never high on magic you cannot have a team in this era where two of your best players both can’t shoot consistently
I don't see them running this roster back with that payroll
Hear me out, Orlando should've been playing Paolo at the 3 for these past yrs. Especially when everyone was healthy. Should've been Suggs, F. Wagner, Banchero, and you use your 4 & 5 spots to rotate dudes like M. Wagner, Wendell, Isaac, and Bitadze. Rotate, at the time, Caldwell Pope & C. Anthony, and Anthony Black at 1 & 2. While Da Silva can come in for minutes at the 3.
I would've tried figuring out what my offense was starting off with size, especially if I'm mocking Orlando, making Paolo my centerpiece. I just wouldn't have done it at the 4 position. I swear they tried it during a period but injuries occurred
That player list ranking was absolutely diabolical
My theory on Paolo taking a step back this year is front office went to him over the summer and told him to gain 25-30 lbs. if you watch him play, he’s clearly lost his agility when he drives and lift on his jumpers and has been playing out of the post much more. He used to be able to beat guys off the dribble now he can’t get by anybody. Look at his body this year compared to last year there’s a noticeable weight difference. The magic did this last year with Jonathan Isaac too. They told him to bulk up because they wanted him to play the center position- he put on 25 lbs lash season and it backfired on them. I think same situation happened here and it backfired on them again.
