What are you on about? I've had diplomacy the entire time lol. I just like Sengun better. And clearly your guy is crushing the poll so in no way has he been harmed.

Should have gone with my instincts and just locked this lol. Way too many posters cannot hear anything they perceive as criticism of their guy. Not sure why they come to this board honestly. If you can only hear good things, this is not the place for you.

(Insert Homer backing up in the bush meme here)

Seriously though, I’m glad to see the consensus is overwhelming (which it should be). Nothing more to say here.

This was a fun exercise.

I don't think most (I stress most) Magic fans suffer if our guys are criticized because you can't say anything we don't see in 90% of posts on the Magic boards. No one hates the Magic and the Magic player more than a REALGM Magic fan.

That said, I disagreed with you in the original thread and still do, but haven't wavered that Sengun and Paolo are both great players and the difference right now on impact is not really that different. I am no Sengun expert but that dude can ball. Just because I think most GMs and 3rd party fans are going to pick Paolo doesn't mean that Sengun sucks.

And to that one poster, yes, I think Suggs > Sengun if the argument is importance to their team. Doesn't mean Suggs is even on the same planet in basketball skill and Sengun.

Turkish Delight for me.

I’m not a Banchero believer.

I don't either. I think the majority of posters here understand they are collectively going to like their players more than the board as a whole and take no offense.

I like Paulo better as a modern big, Sengun is limited in his impact being more of a traditional 5 that’s not really a rim protector.

That is not what some of your fans were saying in the ORL vs HOU core thread a few months ago. They were literally ranking the combined cores based on how good each player was and putting Suggs 3rd ahead of any Rockets player.

But anyway, I don't mind that Magic fans think this isn't close or that Banchero is in different tier to Sengun (lol). Fans will be fans. He's your player.

I have a lot of gifts, but speaking for all of the Magic fanbase isn't one of them!

I don't think any Magic fans have dragged Sengun like you are suggesting.

I wasn't suggesting that you did.

Go back and read some of the early pages if the ORL vs HOU core thread, if you think I'm making it up.

Anyway, I'll end this back and forth with an olive branch. I like the Magic and I absolutely love Banchero. I root for y'all almost on any given night y'all are playing and I think Banchero has all nba potential.
