This checks out. All of the likely keepers long term are on the starting unit. Can then alternate Cole and Fultz as backup PG based on matchup.


More like

Suggs/?
?/Harris
Wagner/Isaac(Houstan?)
Banchero/Bol
Carter/MWagner

Its sad we have only two true energy guys on our roster. Moe Wagner and Jalen Suggs. Without them only Franz seems to run on his own energy.


I'm really interested to see how they are going to play Isaac. I was looking at him last night next to the rest of the Magic players and he's BIG. I've forgotten how big he really is. Okeke was dwarfed by him, even MOE looked ridiculously small. If he could play the 5 and stay reasonably healthy? Watch out.


Yep...he's noticably bigger than everybody in person

Okeke is 6'6 without shoes... or even with shoes. Nowdays he is listed as 6'6 ( witch means he is 6'5 without shoes).

Isaac isn't taller than Bamba, it's just his hair that sticks out

But why are we talking about height of player who is in nba for half of decade?

Once he returns he'll play 10-15 mpg from bench for probably rest of a year. I really don't understand why are you guys having so big expetations from player that hasn't played basketball in 3 years. He'll be shell of former self.

I've gone to a lot of games and sat down low and walked by the huddles...AG looked smaller than he should. I thought Isaiah Thomas was a ballboy. Hezonja bigger. Vuc looked all of 7'. Isaac is really tall and not fragile-looking like Bamba...many of us are hopeful that a guy who is ALREADY on our roster, is still young, and who, at times in his short career, showed immense defensive potential and effort...why do you insist on burying him before he's dead? I didn't suggest betting your life savings on him. I don't think anyone is realistically counting on the idea that he's going to give us what we'd like, but we're hopeful. It's not necessary to remind everyone of the unlikelihood every time his name is brought up...we know it's a long shot. :nonono:

It's like when anything good happens in a game, and the wave of response is "ruining the tank" :banghead:

I suppose it's fair to say everyone looks bulkier when they're wearing street clothes :lol: (beat you to it, Pepe)

If Isaac gives us 15 min of defensive mayhem, ala DET Rodman...I'm in.

Wasn’t talking about height in particular, was talking about body size. He has big broad shoulders.
